Looks to me like you got Ninetoone & Merasmag mixed up in the standings, but I really don't care because they are both behind me in my perfect stalking position (4th).
I think I was the only person that was in the money in all four races last week. Now watch, I probably won't hit the board for the rest of the contest!

You are correct about the mix up... thank you, I'll fix it now.

And yes, you were the only one who was ITM in all four races based on your picks (Congrats!)... Ninetoone, Cannon Shell and -BT- each only put up picks in 2 out of the 4 races and they were ITM for all of their picks, too.

If anyone would like the role of double checking my work (and I'd appreciate a detailed proof-reader, especially with all the mistakes I make :o ), PM me and I'll e-mail you my spreadsheet. Right now I'm working fulltime AND working on my Master's degree (2 classes this quarter and one of them is Literature Review for my thesis).... but I'm making time for playing Golden Gate (hit four P3's and a P4 last weekend) as well as reading this site and running this game... a person has to have their priorities in order! :D

[ninetoone]

6th place, 7th place...what's the difference? I may have stumbled out of the gate, but I'll be making my run. What's the prize in this contest anyway? I could use a nice, new DT hat. :)

Well, unless Steve is willing to offer a hat (I'm not giving up my DT hat), you're going to have to be satisfied with prizes consisting of t-shirts from Eastern Washington University (basketball or football) and give-aways I've picked up at Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields :eek: :D Prizes for the top 3 compliments of Derbycat! :D

[ninetoone]

Sounds good, I love T-Shirts....and thanks for running the contest.

[Buffymommy]

Something like that. Although I have a feeling we'll end up the last two after all is said and done.


That's right. I decided not to be a front runner anymore! I am a dignified closer. Gonna close on you both like Vic Gallop did to Real Quiet! :D :D :D

Congrats to all who picked winners this past weekend. Don't let the total that DaHoss has racked up chase anyone off, we still have lots of races left to play and all it takes is a longshot pick to get you up to the top of this list!

Thanks for playing, next weeks races will be posted by Thursday.

[Buffymommy]

Well, there we are Pete. We always seem to be hanging around each other... We going to close together? We need to put some heat on those top guys/gals.

No offense DaHoss (by the way, I LOVED THAT HORSE), but haven't made my move yet...


Oh isn't smack talking fun.... Watch I am going to be at the very bottom by the time the derby comes around.

Yep, you and me kiddo. We'll just keep hanging around til the others wear down. I'm sure it'll be us at the finish line first.
