![]() I don’t think I knew about the Yahoo board.
I started posting on the ESPN Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies boards probably early 2000s then switched over to a now-defunct message board called sports-boards. Steve posted on the Eagles board but must have mentioned derbytrail and I ended up over here. |

I remember those contests. I finished “in the money” for one of them. I think I won an Eagles blanket? It was a long time ago, I can’t remember. |

![]() Mostly a lurker here but I did just want to let Steve know that his hard work on the forum, specifically with the Weekend Beyer stuff, probables etc does not go unappreciated. Thank you!

![]() I still come on to see Steve’s selections on big racing days and of course Saratoga. Always enjoy following the lead up to the triple crown. There were some characters on here over the years and of course some of the debates were always fun to read. The forum has stood the test of time. I’m glad I’ve been able to be part of it.

![]() I used to play in a pick 6 contest which I think was on the ESPN website. When that contest ended I saw on the ESPN message board that Derby Trail was starting up so I joined. Undoubtedly, after all this time, I am a better player because of it. I still make a lot of dumb mistakes, but maybe not quite as many as I once did.
![]() ![]() As for having trouble accessing the website, I did get warning messages for a while, but I started accessing DT through ATR and I wouldn't get the warning messages and now I don't get them at all no matter how I try to access. I hope that DT doesn't implode at some point. |

And very glad to hear the certificate issue isn't causing problems.
