4th Annual Derby Trail Contest
 

It's almost time again for the annual Derby Trail Contest. This contest is simple, each week a list of stakes races for 3 year old horses will be posted and you will be asked to pick one horse for each race that you believe will be the winner. The “bet” you are placing is a $2 WPS and where ever your horse finishes, you will get that payout across the board (ie: if your horse wins, you will get the win/show/place payouts combined, if your horse places you will get place/show, etc.). It is strongly recommended that you play each race every week. You don’t lose “money” if you don’t play (and you don’t lose “money” if your pick loses), but you do lose the chance to make “money”. If you miss a week or start late, that ok – with the right longshot winner, anyone can do well!

AND as an added bonus, anyone who places bets before the KY Derby on the eventual winner gets those points (or $$$) multiplied by 10 (ie: Mine That Bird in last years Borderland Derby finished second {which wasn't actually a contest race but we'll use it as an example} and paid $4.00/$2.80 for a $2 bet across the board so your return was $6.80. With this contest, after he won the KY Derby, you would be credited with an additional $68 - Winning points of $6.80 x 10 = $68).

Our first race of the year is the Tropical Park Derby at Calder Race Course on January 1st - sorry for posting this late but it was cut by Calder last year and I didn't realize until today that it was brought back this year. Below you will find the entries and past performances for this race and I'll do that for each week as they become available.

Hopefully this makes sense, post your picks on this thread for this weeks race. Remember to add an alternate pick in case your horse gets scratched.

Thanks for playing and good luck!
