Default OK Its Derby Week with added contest stuff right here!

So here we go as we usually always do and if I forget anything remind me. Earn some added points to your total by:

1. Pick the horse finishing last - 10 extra points
2. Pick the number of lengths back the last horse finishes at. Closest to the correct number gets 10 points even if you don't have the last place horse.
3. Pick the straight exacta - 10 extra points (I can see this on you picks)
4. Pick the straight trifecta - add 10 more points (Same with this)
5. Pick the winner - 5 extra points
6. Guess the attendance as confirmed on TV and/or in written articles - 10 points for he closest guess.

Enjoy the week and next Saturday!!!

BTW - JolyB is not eligible. He already has way too many points . . . KIDDING!

Also, the winner of the points contest and ROI will each receive a KY Derby glass. If the same person wins both contests the second place finisher in the ROI will be in line to receive the glass.

Good luck to all!

Ruffian: I want to keep this very simple and straight forward. As the post reads, I will use your points picks W-P-S selections only. I don't want multiple selections of any of these. It makes it confusing and too complicated for my senior challenged brain. Therefore there is no need to post you WPS picks on this thread of others, simple. Only guesses for 1, 2 and 6 will be posted on this tread. Thank you.

All participants: To clarify what I just posted to Ruffian, please only post your guesses for the following in this thread:

1. Last Place horse
2. Lengths the last place horse will finish behind the winner
6. Attendance at CD for the Derby.

I can get your picks for 3, 4 and 5 off of your points contest picks. Questions?


ALSO: all of these extra contest goodies (1-6) must be posted before the start of the first race on Derby Day, in case anyone was wondering?
