The details are in the first weeks thread: http://derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8417

Read through the past several weeks threads and you'll catch on real quick.

But here's the simple version - pick a horse in each race - you get whatever it pays (not literally, I'm not a bookie )

OMG! I almost wet myself when I read that! Believe it or not, I repeat the same thing whenever I like something - when Kenny M. said that I immediately love it! I still laugh so hard I turn red when I hear it. If I could get my cell phone to say that for my ring tone along with "Call to Post", I would be one happy camper!

Guess who my $$$ is on tomorrow?

Yes, let's do the Swale since it's at Gulfstream so that will make it easy for everyone... I'll modify the first post in the thread to note the change... thanks!

Me too, not that I'm actually wagering any $$$ tomorrow. I'm so mad no TV stations here are carrying it. I'll have to tape the OTB channel. Lame.

And I desperately want the call to post for a ring tone, too!

Actually, that one is easy to get (I found a place a while back where you can get it for $0.99)... I just want the addition of K.M. making his signature "Eeenbaasooooor" call - CLASSIC!

Wow, this is the toughest week of the contest so far for me. The Sham is a particularly hard race to figure out. There are probably some nice value horses out there today, but I sure as hell can't figure out who they are, so I am going chalky this week.

Holy Bull - Scat Daddy (alternate: Nobiz Like Showbiz)
Sham - Time Squared (alternate: Liquidity)
Swale - Adore the Gold (alternate: Gunfight)

Holy Bull: Nobiz Like Shobiz
Shame: Ravel
Swale: Gunfight (also picked by husband, because "Prado's riding him." I guess he DOES listen to my horseracing chatter sometimes)

I guess I should pick alternates, just in case:

Sam P
Liquidity
Adore the Gold
