    SBR Kentucky Derby 2-Day Handicapping Challenge! May 4-5: Sponsored by BetDSI


    SBR Kentucky Derby 2-Day Handicapping Challenge!
    Sponsored by BetDSI


    *5-point buy-in*

    Register here: http://contests.sbrforum.com/kentuck...-contest-3815/

    Prize-pool

    1st: 1500 SBR Points Free Play
    2nd: 1000 SBR Points Free Play
    3rd: 500 SBR Points Free Play
    4th: 250 SBR Points Free Play
    5th: 150 SBR Points Free Play

    Contest Schedule
    3 races on Friday, May 4 (including the Kentucky Oaks)
    9 races on Saturday, May 5 (ending with the Kentucky Derby)

    * $20 Bankroll for each of the 3 Friday races and first 8 Saturday races
    * $40 Bankroll for the Kentucky Derby itself (final race on Saturday)

    Picks threads for both racing days can be found here:


    * WIN and EXACTA wagers only.
    * $2 minimum on all wagers, including exactas.
    * A maximum of two posts with your wagers are allowed per race - if you make a second post, it must completely replace the wagers in your first post.
    * Posts can be made up until the start of each race. Threads will be locked when the horses are off - post early to avoid being "shut out."

    * Bankroll money is "use it or lose it" - betting funds are deducted as you risk them. Any unrisked bankroll will just be deducted and not added onto winnings.
    * Winning wagers will include both the profit and money risked added onto your winnings. In other words, if you risk $2 on a win bet and it pays $10.00 on the toteboard, the full $10.00 is added to your winnings.

    * You can list one alternate wager for each race in the event of a scratch.
    * If a horse is scratched in your wager and there is not a valid alternate, the wager is a loss and its bankroll cannot be re-used on any other races.
    * Winning order determined by top amounts of winnings achieved over the 12 races of action.


    * All decisions made concerning the contest by SBR are final.

            Always a great contest! Hoping that lowering the bankrolls makes it a little more tight this time.

                            Already seeing problems, guys - there is no PLACE betting! Or anything besides WIN and EXACTA.

                            I'll go back to the basics again:
                            $20 bankroll for all races except Saturday's Kentucky Derby itself, which is $40.
                            $2 minimum bets (No $1 bets of any sort)
                            WIN and EXACTA wagers ONLY

                                          Jeffie, Mil. Mike, Laurin & Davy Dave might be closers this afternoon.
                                          Union Rags is an over-rated horse this year.
                                          Here's something I found that I agree with:

                                          The time is now for thoroughbred heavyweight Union Rags, who is a 9-2 favorite to take home the 138th Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

                                          Union Rags, who will be ridden by jockey Julien Leparoux on Saturday, has not won a Grade I race since Champagne at Belmont Park last October.
                                          Unlike other sports though, horse racing is less forgiving to underachievers, who have a season at most to develop into Derby favorites and ultimately Triple Crown contenders.
                                          Time is running out for Union Rags.

                                          The colt fell short at Churchill Downs last November, finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile to Hansen (who has 10-1 odds this weekend) and then suffered a major stumble at the Florida Derby back in March, finishing third behind winner Take Charge Indy (who has 15-1 odds this weekend), who finished more than 11 lengths ahead of Union Rags.
                                          On both occasions much was expected of him, most notably at the Florida Derby, where he was favored and facing a field of soon-to-be Kentucky Derby competitors.



                                          Good Luck to everyone.
                                          Oakas appears untouchable.
                                          Unless someone hits the exacta!

                                              Only two cashed tickets in the Derby. Arletta inched up for the place spot thanks to hitting an exacta.

                                              oakas built onto his Friday lead nicely all day and held on for the win in front - always one of the best contest legends and it showed here!

                                              Final Top 10 results I have:

                                                  I'm going to be away for a while starting tomorrow so I've sent the list of winners to Lou. Final validations will be done on the buy-in's and prizes will be credited sometime next week.
