Ladies and gentlemen, after 37 races in 18 weeks, we have a new champion in the Annual Derby Trail Contest - Congratulations to:
Duvalier! He held his lead in the stretch despite a close pursuer in bigdog 14086 and a furious late run by Scav! Congrats to our runner-ups: 2nd: bigdog 14086 3rd: Scav The Derby bonus paid off $24 for Super Saver’s third place finish on the Tampa Bay Derby and $102 for the runner up spot in the Arkansas Derby. Congrats to Scav for being the only player to pick the Derby winner this year (and he got the $102 bonus, too). Thanks to everyone who played this year, it was educational as always. Let’s do this again next year!

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. --Dunbar

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"

Once again DC thanks for all your time and hard work that you put into the contest.
