Thanks for running the contest, Derby Cat. It's a fun event. btw, despite exchanging several emails with you in the past few years, I didn't know you were of the female persuasion until today.


Great job winning the contest, Duvalier.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the contest, I get a lot out of running it (although it didn't help me this year, I liked Zito's other horse too much ).

Congrats again to Duvalier, a worthy champion. He declined the championship trophy (can you believe that Scav?) so instead of getting that for him, a donation will be made in his name to GEVA, the horse rescue farm where Nopie lives.

Yes, it's true, DerbyCat is a mare (definitely not a filly), but really, I'm just another horse player like everyone else here.

Thanks for doing that DerbyCat...it's just great that an ex racehorse has a chance at a nice retirement because of the efforts of people like you and Scav.

My opinion of you was already high...

That's a lovely thing to do.

Cheers to you, Duvalier.

I hate the term class act but what else do I say here?

You, Sir, have both wisdom and class.

I dont know, that trophy is serious bragging rights. I bring it to the track with me and when people start arguing with me I just show them the trophy and say "I win"
