DT Contest - The 2008 Finale
This is it folks, the final race of the 2008 Derby Trail Contest. As your host, it has been a pleasure - thank you for letting me run this fun and informative contest - it has truly been my honor
 Just a reminder, if the horse you picked earlier in this contest win the Derby, you will get a "10 times the earlier race payoff" bonus... for example, if Smooth Air wins the Derby, Scav will get a $354.00 bonus (10 x $35.40, Smooth Air's pay-off from the Hutchinson) and he will win this game  Also, we are playing for prizes, they are:1st Place: A Trophy AND BRAGGING RIGHTS! 2nd Place: An item from the grab bag of our fearless leader, Steve Byk (can you cover me on this prize Steve? I'd appreciate it!  ) 3rd Place: A race program from the final day of Bay Meadows, May 11th (and I'll get Russell Baze to sign it) Last year the Derby bonus ended up making the difference as Paisjpq pulled out the win. Second place went to Mclem10011 and third place went to 2 Dollar Bill – congrats to all of them! Finally, I also will be posting a Triple Crown contest. That one is very easy, pick the winner and a three horse exacta box for each of the three TC races... you can either post your picks here or there - I'll keep track of them where ever you post them!

Haven't picked in a long time so in case I still have a snowball's chance in hell I'll go with Anak Nakal.
