DT Contest - The Finale

[DerbyCat]

This is it folks, the final race of the 2007 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 Tiago wins the Derby, Saucon17 will get a $944.00 bonus (10 x $94.40) and he will win this game :D Also, we are playing for prizes, they are:
1st Place: A Trophy AND BRAGGING RIGHTS!
2nd Place: Autographed Rodney Stuckey photo (Eastern Washington University’s star basketball player that is expected to be drafted in the 1st round of the NBA draft this year)
3rd Place: Eastern Washington Football or Basketball shirt

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 :D

Wow! What an amazing contest - the Derby bonus ends up making the difference - Congratulations to our winner - Paisjpq!!!!

Second place went to Mclem10011 who move up from 13th place in to the runner up spot, he picked Street Sense in both of his races earlier this year and that paid off big!!! - excellent job!

Third place belongs to 2 Dollar Bill, he had Street Sense to win today and also called his win earlier in the year - Well done!

[Kasept]

Congrats to the Pais for a win marked by dogged consistency and the top finishers for a great effort..

COMMENT LINE: 'MRS P." broke alertly and on the pace from the break; persevered through multiple challenges; wore down foes through the lane while holding late chargers safe..

Thanks to Derby Cat for the extended period of entertainment.. Running these is a thankless task, but much appreciated by participants and those that watched from the stands!
