We're just two weeks away now guys!

[Davydave]

We're in the home stretch... good luck all!

[TonyP]

the $2 minimum wager on exacta is that base. in other words can we wager $1 exacta as long as it is at least a $2 wager $1 ex 1/2,3 would cost $2

[aceking]

sounds good...

[BigdaddyQH]

Great contest. Thanks Sam and SBR.

There are no $1 wagers allowed this year. I allowed them in the past for exactas but now it's $2 minimum per exacta combination - even on boxes, wheels, etc. Hoping it makes things more competitive.

Yeah buddy! Love the Derby, this'll make it that much more fun.

Every year there are bombs, always makes for a good contest as you're never really out of it until the last race.

Very true, Davy! It's always a challenging contest and the main event with its bigger bankroll and possible high payoffs can end up deciding it all.

Post selections are today on Versus. I am still debating where to watch the Derby this year. So many casinos throwing parties.

Yes - selections can be made until post time. I have indicated the expected post time in each thread.

[Bigshooter]

On the contest thread, it says 9 races for Saturday.

But you have 10 races listed for Saturday, Races 2-11.

Please clarify.

Here is what I have so far for standings - anyone with $200 or higher is listed. Still 9 races left tomorrow - lots of action and anyone can still close big.
