3rd Annual Derby Bookend Contest

Cal 828 and Pete Mugg were the previous winners. Cal won a book on the Ky Derby; I sent Pete a bloodhorse 8x10 photo of the derby winner, Big Brown. This years' contest winner will receive the same prize-an 8x10 photo of whoever wins this years Derby.
Feel free to start posting picks in this thread-one per person please. Entries will close at post time. Any questions, please ask. Thanks, Deb.

Always fun... Reminds me.. Do'nt or did'nt they used to have a wager to where you had to try and guess the full order of finish?

Yes, they did. Not sure why they bothered. Probably easier to hit

Would be interesting to know... I forget what it paid if someone ever was to hit it..
