Gauging interest in a Kentucky Derby Contest

[Bernardini]

Tobias, great minds must think a like (Pete and Myself, of course) as I was thinking about setting one up on the cigar side!

I was thinking of giving folks a $50 bankroll to bet win, place, show, with whom ever wins the most money getting a prize from me. Thought it might be too complicated, so anxiously watching yours (so I can steal it)!

Hi Andy,

When Tobias and I were kicking around this idea I was thinking about how to prevent you from having an edge .

Andy's a great horseman but he must be laughing because picking the last place finisher in the Derby is about as random as it gets. Well bet Derby horses often finish far back in most years because it's a longer distance than they're used to running and it's always a huge field AND there's never been a disqualification in the history of the race - anything goes. In the 1933 Derby, Broker's Tip and Head Play were nose to nose throughout the stretch run as their jockeys fought each other and there were no disqualifications (no video) and that tradition (no DQs) has stood ever since. It was Broker's Tip only win.

I'll put up a tin (come on - of course it will be unopened!) of Germain's Plum Cake (2014).

Riders Up!
