Did anyone win $$ on the derby?

Using some of Steve's picks, mine and my wife's I was rolling pick 3s. Trying to keep to a budget I tossed Accredit in the 6th. That cost me about $300. Went on to hit the next Pick 3 (7th-9th) for $200. Should have been smart and walked away. Instead I started to swing for something bigger but struck out.

Quick story. My sister @ brother in-law were in Florida on vacation. During a fishing trip on Friday somehow he got his line tangled twice with birds. She calls me Saturday morning tells me the story and ask me to put $20 on Summer Bird. She joked it must be an omen. I pay no real attention to it and place her bet. She does not realize there is another horse called MTB also in the race and since the horse is not on my radar I don't think to mention it. I get a text message 10 seconds after the race. "Did you happen to also play that horse?"
