derby 'bookend' contest

[Danzig]

we talked about something like this on another thread, so what the heck...if there is interest that is.

'derby first and last' contest. pick the winner, and the last place horse. all picks in this thread please, prior to the post parade.

put up a first, and a last place choice. alt allowed for a scratch only.

in the event that more than one person gets both correct, i will have a tiebreak (names in a hat!).

the winner will get a book about all the derby winners from aristides to barbaro. it's hardcover, just came out. pics, write-up on each derby winner...

if no one picks both--closest to getting both will be the winner.

fun idea Deb:)

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

It should be easy to figure out who the "back end" of the bookend will be now, since that horse will be running!

Toothless-berg :D

I can't (well not really :D ) believe she is gonna run this horse...there! :eek:

That Bluegrass was just what they were lookin for? :rolleyes:

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

That Bluegrass was just what they were lookin for? :rolleyes:

I'm just afraid when he starts backing up in the stretch, he'll bother other horses that are finishing good.

debated whether to list my choices....

hard spun
teuflesberg

[Danzig]

25 entries so far, with 6 picking street sense first, 6 for hard spun. then CQ, AGS...
6 for bwana to finish last, 7 for sedgefield, and 4 don't like teuf's chances.

no one went with great hunter, cowtown cat, zanjero, dominican or sam p for either half of their entry...

still time left to enter!!

Thanks. Lucky enough to have Street Sense for real too, but not even close to an exacta. Hard Spun fooled me. I liked him, but was afraid he would be a victim of the pace, not the one to set it. Goes to show what I know.
