			 I really do need to do my handicapping late at night.  8.60 but I will take it.  Now if I can only find my 2008 Slew's Tizzy, I wil be in fire.  I did pick the exacta.  Too bad they don't count.  My handicapping is better at 10pm.   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			G will be happy with 3.40 too. He gave me his picks before he left last night. (Was babysitting.) I think we have to start doing our picks then. ![]()

			 I'm going to Golden Gate Fields today to watch the California Derby in person so I won't get the contest standings posted until later tonight.  Thank you for your patience and understanding. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Good luck everyone!

			 Congratulations to all who selected Yankee Bravo.  I liked his PPs but was more impressed with his bloodline.  His sire, Yankee Gentleman, is sire of hard-luck third place finisher in Delta Jackpot, Golden Yank.

			 Dang, had Yankee Bravo with Cafe Tortoni as alternate. Almost switched pick to Cafe Tortoni thinking with the bigger odds his place and show price might be bigger than the win/place/show of the favorite. Oh well, like my grandpa always said, "You gotta be happy anytime you score."

			 I thought we were only going to have one contest race this week but the folks at Santa Anita managed to pull off a miracle and provide a race track that didn’t embarrass them (unless you count a 1:06 world record  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			   ).  Nice picks by cboh11, megahertz, rontheman1964 and Immanuel Kant who all picked both winners for the weekend… although the money leader for the day was ryonker who picked the two biggest priced horses for the weekend.  Our Top Two look very familiar (Bigsmc and Hickory Hill Hoff) but cboh11 has moved into the show position – nice job!   Standings after four weeks: # DT Member Sunshine Millions California Derby TOTAL 1 Bigsmc $6.60 $0.00 = $98.20 2 Hickory Hill Hoff $0.00 $0.00 = $90.90 3 cboh11 $8.60 $11.60 = $87.90 4 Gaines2b $0.00 $0.00 = $77.80 5 Scav $0.00 $0.00 = $77.70 6 mes5107 $0.00 $15.60 = $74.00 7 MaTH716 $8.60 $0.00 = $73.10 8 megahertz $8.60 $11.60 = $71.30 9 AngelSita $3.40 $0.00 = $68.80 10 TheSpyder $0.00 $15.60 = $64.60 11 Mumtaz $8.60 $0.00 = $62.40 12 horseofcourse No Pick No Pick = $58.50 13 Mclem10011 $8.60 $0.00 = $58.00 14 Hoist Her Flag $8.60 $5.40 = $57.60 14 pweizer $6.60 $5.40 = $57.60 16 Oaklawnfan $8.60 $0.00 = $56.20 17 Swedejxn $0.00 $15.60 = $55.40 18 Lava $3.40 $0.00 = $54.40 19 Heels1989 $0.00 $11.60 = $54.00 20 DerbyCat $0.00 $0.00 = $51.80 21 Duvalier $8.60 $0.00 = $50.20 22 pgiaco $8.60 $5.60 = $49.60 23 viscount26 $3.40 $0.00 = $49.00 24 golfer $0.00 $0.00 = $48.60 25 rontheman1964 $8.60 $11.60 = $48.40 26 cowgirlintexas $8.60 $5.40 = $46.30 27 sundaysilenceforever $3.40 $11.60 = $45.80 28 2 Dollar Bill $0.00 $0.00 = $45.60 29 gamblin4ever $6.60 $0.00 = $45.20 30 ryonker $8.60 $15.60 = $43.20 31 otisotisotis $8.60 $0.00 = $42.40 32 3kings $6.60 $5.40 = $42.00 33 hi im god $0.00 $0.00 = $41.80 34 tiggerv $0.00 $0.00 = $40.50 35 Dunbar $3.40 $0.00 = $39.60 36 pointman $6.60 $0.00 = $39.50 37 Ninetoone $0.00 $0.00 = $38.20 38 ed $3.40 $11.60 = $36.60 39 wiphan $3.40 $11.60 = $36.40 40 declansharbor $0.00 $11.60 = $36.10 41 smitty1278 No Pick No Pick = $35.40 42 SniperSB23 No Pick No Pick = $29.40 43 Many Others $0.00 $0.00 = $28.40 44 Cal828 $0.00 $0.00 = $25.30 45 GBBob No Pick No Pick = $23.80 46 DelKev No Pick No Pick = $22.30 47 herkhorse $0.00 $0.00 = $22.00 48 PeteMugg $3.40 $0.00 = $21.20 49 dylbert $6.60 $11.60 = $20.40 50 Immanuel Kant $8.60 $11.60 = $20.20 51 tiznowthegreat $8.60 $0.00 = $20.00 52 merasmag $3.40 No Pick = $18.00 53 nomad No Pick No Pick = $17.40 54 Saucon17 No Pick No Pick = $17.00 55 my miss storm cat $3.40 $0.00 = $16.60 56 Pperfectfan $8.60 $0.00 = $16.20 57 CannonShell $3.40 $5.40 = $15.60 58 jms62 No Pick No Pick = $15.20 59 zippyneedsawin No Pick No Pick = $11.50 60 FlaFemFatale $3.40 $5.40 = $11.00 61 Buffymommy $8.60 $0.00 = $10.80 62 TitanSooner No Pick No Pick = $10.40 63 abe1947 No Pick No Pick = $7.00 64 deltagulf No Pick No Pick = $4.60 65 G $3.40 $0.00 = $3.40 66 GenuineRisk No Pick No Pick = $2.90 66 trifecta124 No Pick No Pick = $2.90 68 geeker2 No Pick No Pick = $2.20 68 Holland Hacker No Pick No Pick = $2.20 70 DaHoss9698 No Pick No Pick = $0.00 70 NTamm1215 No Pick No Pick = $0.00 70 Port Conway Lane $0.00 $0.00 = $0.00 70 wac No Pick No Pick = $0.00
