May 7 Derby Day 2022 Points Picks go here . . .

Ending a great Derby Day at twilight on a maiden race just doesn't make sense. I guess quantity trump's quality. But I too have picked races 1 and 14 so I'm good to go.

Players have already capped the full card and are posting selections, so I'm not suggesting any changes for this year.

I do think that RQ has made a valid point that we could consider on future Derby Day contests. After all, CD probably cards the final two races primarily to keep some of the 150,000 fans around for an extra hour and keep everyone from rushing to the parking lots immediately after the Derby. Traffic is bad enough as it is.

I'd go a little further than RQ and suggest that the most elegant way to conclude a Derby Day contest would be to end it with the Derby. But, I'm just a simple kind of guy.

Good luck to all and hope that you enjoy a very full day of racing.
