Today is opening day at Churchhill. The Derby field has been drawn. In Addition we have the SBR handicapping contest on Saturday as well. I'm going to dust off my handicapping skills and practice as if this is Saturday. Each race $2.00 win bet on each of the nine race card. My goal is to reach a total of $25.00 or more.

All are welcome to join in.
