1. I'm a doofus
2. I used Equibases numbers when I picked my numbers this morning (before I even drank my coffee)
3. I got 5 out of 6

After the 3rd went off I realized my 4th race numbers were off and I corrected it (kind of) by noting the error in bold. Then, the only race I missed picking the winner was Race 4 but my early edit noted that I was using Equibase numbers because Equibase had Red Opal as #5 (Program #6) and Udriga as #11 (Program #12)... I realized later I had more incorrect numbers but I didn't want to make any more edits for fear I would be accused of changing things after the fact Due to early scratches, in Race 5 Equibase had Paul's Hope as #7 (Program #8), and in Race 8 Equibase had Tony Montana as #13 (Program #14)...

Do I get credit for this or do I forfeit cause I'm a doofus? If so, I will accept that

I sure would like a Derby Trail shirt to go with the hat I bought... any feedback from the Forum?

Curt speak up.If you don't want my T Shirt,then, whoever this is, can have it.

A/J..

It's a REMARKABLE EFFORT... Also shows what Andy talked about on the show Monday... how tough it is to get through these even with a liberal budget. Another $2,000 likely gets the 5/6ers home towards the $400,000 payoff.. Look forward to a recap...

If I played the perfect ticket and just went deep enough in each leg to hit the winner it would have still cost me $5400 and that includes a single.

Thanks Scuds, honest I appreciate this, really do. I'll pm Steve my addy.

I gotta say... there's a few of us on this forum that know what we're doing!!

We'd be a force in a syndicate. 408K split ten ways would be fine with me!

The best I did was 4 out of 6 thanks to that damn Moogie...

Honestly, I think everybody did a remarkably good job, and it's extraordinarily impressive how many people had fives ( and I'm assuming multiple times ). Congratulations on a super tough job very well done.

One of the reasons I thought of this was that I was explaining to Byk just how hard it is to put together winning tickets ( and don't fool yourself, no matter how smart you think you are, or are, it takes at least a little luck ). $2500 does not go very far at all especially in a card like this one with many big fields. Often times people look at the results and say " I could have had that ", and it's very possible there are people that had every winner somewhere on their tickets, but getting them all on ONE ticket is another story.

No doubt ten people are better off putting $250 each together than playing 10 seperate $250 plays. Like someone just said, 10% of $400K aint bad.

Congrats again. I can't speak for anyone else but I'm impressed.

Damn had 5 of 6 and the 2nd and 3rd place horses in the race I missed the 6th......Any thoughts from anyone about errors you think I made with ticket structure or missing somethig obvious on the race I blew.....please provide constructive feedback!!!

2nd time I had P6 with 5 of 6 at SA in two weeks.... The ticket cost $2304 so end up breaking even while the years off my life praying for the 7 or the 4 in the 6Th to catch the 8 are gone forever!!.....a sprint to route angle I missed......and of course it happens in the middle race so it screws up the rollling pick 3's......Yikes!!!!!
I am not anywhere as smart as alot of you guys......

Byk you should have my mailing address and my check for the syndicate by this time......

Seriously, if we had 20 people put in $250, $5,000 wagered, I know we'd have taken it today. Even 5% of $400K is not a bad return on the $250.
