Its a nickname!

This is actually for the Kentucky Derby. I think this is the 3rd year I have held this contest.

This year, none of the 20 should be left out if there is a scratch. There will be an AE list - another horse that is waiting in the wings should one from the field scratch. I still have to put together a prize package.

Let's see which lucky person gets Bodemeister.....

You can youtube/google "bodemeister arkansas derby" to see what I mean.

Good luck to all!

There are 20 of you.
There are 20 horses in the Kentucky Derby.
Each one of you will be assigned a Derby horse at random.
If your assigned horse wins, you get the prize.

Posted by: tyrodsports Apr 16 2012, 08:19 PM

Oh ok

Posted by: Tarasadie17 Apr 16 2012, 10:29 PM

Awesome, thanks for the contest!

Posted by: redwing40 Apr 17 2012, 04:39 AM

My wife and my sister inlaws watch it, wine and they wear the big fancy hat's, now I have to sit and watch with them lol

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones Apr 17 2012, 06:35 AM

But now you'll have an interest in this race. One of these runners will represent you. And this is as wide open a field as far as I can remember.

However, the current bandwagon is on Bodemeister.

Posted by: redwing40 Apr 17 2012, 06:35 PM

Can't wait then! If I'm not working that day or Going to the card show in Jackson MI. that day, sure the wife will keep me updated via android!

KHarmon

Posted by: bajmurray May 4 2012, 10:44 AM

50-1!

Not going to start counting my winnings

Posted by: pwolantern May 4 2012, 10:49 AM

Daddy Long Legs 30-1, I like rooting for the underdog

Posted by: msw_sportscards May 4 2012, 02:53 PM

Went The Day Well....currently 18-1....but 13 is my lucky number....cheerio!

Posted by: tyrodsports May 4 2012, 03:26 PM

I'm 12:1

Posted by: Tarasadie17 May 4 2012, 03:45 PM

Dullahan is 8 to 1, but since he is coming out of the fifth post I am figuring you should just send me my winnings now...

Dullahan will shock the world of horse racing, you heard it here first!

Posted by: aceecards May 4 2012, 05:59 PM

enuff said

17. aceecards - Done Talking



Pros: Done Talking won the Illinois Derby ¾ of a length in front of Morgan’s Guerrilla who went on to finish last of 11 in the Coolmore Lexington Stakes in his next start. Done Talking closed from nearly last to split the two leaders deep into the stretch. It was a gutsy move for a young horse. The early speed we should see in the Kentucky Derby and Done Talking’s ability to maneuver through traffic may give this colt an advantage.

Cons: Done Talking really hasn’t taken on the top horses in this crop of three-year-olds. He did meet Hansen in the Goltham, but finished tenth and was beaten nearly 21 lengths. His Illinois Derby win was very slow, almost six seconds slower than the Blue Grass Stakes and Santa Anita Derby.

Fun Fact: Owner Skeedattle Stables is a partnership between Robert "Willie" White, Lou Rehak and Robert Orndorff. White and Rehak are best friends and business partners who own an overhead door company in Maryland.

Analysis: I just don’t think Done Talking has done enough, beaten enough of the most competitive horses in this field to warrant betting. His late closing running style will help, but in a field of 20 horses with other deep closers, I don’t think he’s going to be the one that gets out and gets to the finish first.


However i do like the Horse under Jockey Calvin Bo-Rail The post spot, the horse and the jockey seem to be the long shot to go with! Take Charge Indy at 15-1 take him in all your exacta and trifecta wagering

Posted by: NYMETSJETS May 4 2012, 06:02 PM

Union Rags for me! Not to shabby at 9:2 !!!

Posted by: ffman May 4 2012, 06:07 PM

El Padrino is best on wet tracks, and it has been raining!

Posted by: dads cards May 4 2012, 06:14 PM

Starting 20th & 50 to 1 odds Ouch But it'll be better when I win LOL

Posted by: 19th Century Indiana Jones May 4 2012, 08:55 PM

OMG. You guys know how to handicap horseracing??????? I thought I was the only one on this board that watches horseracing!


BTW, the prize is an original 1909-11 T206 Bresnahan(batting).

Posted by: road_runner_1964 May 4 2012, 09:40 PM

Rousing Sermon 50-1

Prospective had the worst odds but did well considering. I'm going to give him a tiny little trophy for competing.

Thanks for the contest, that was fun.
