That's gotta hurt. How much did that $1 make a difference in prize money?

The winner made a very gutsy bet in the last race. If the horse drop to 5-2 instead of 3-1, he gave himself no chance to win the contest even if his horse wins. I give him tons of credit.

Paul Shurman, the tour winner, finished sixth and was in it until the end as well, making for a very exciting finish.

As for me, well, this sport can be a very humbling game...

Thanks everyone for the good wishes.

Paul

Steve and all the Derby Trailers,

Thanks for the good wishes.

This was so much fun - would have been nice to leave with a better score, but no complaints here.

The fun kicked off Thursday night when everyone involved with the tournament was invited to a premiere of LUCK at Mandalay Bay. Really cool. Hoffman, Nolte and the other cast members were there.

Then the tournament started. Had a chance to meet Steve Davidowitz and tell him how much I appreciate his weekly gig on At The Races. In fact, I think he did pretty well in the tournament this weekend. Haven't run it to Rich Eng yet but hope to before this is over.

Just a great experience - I certainly appreciate DeeTee Stables and the show for helping this newbie improve his game. Still a long way to go but I hope to make it back to this tournament in the future.
