Good luck to all!
Hey Plen. I'll do what I can to add to the 3 I have. Thanks for your generosity as always.

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?

OKEY DOKIE
I know right now my POINTS PIX will NOT be who I would have chosen
for the exacta or the trifecta or the winner by looking at the field ##

I just thought there would be a separate thread for picking
exacta — trifecta and #1 winner ... but I guess not

By the way

Ruffian, you have me very confused. Those who know me are aware that is not difficult to do.

You say that your pick for the winner would not be the pick you make for the win spot in the Points contest. Since there is no issue of odds or potential payoff involved, aren't they one and the same? Why would one not place in the top slot the horse he or she thought was going to win?
