Big Blue Huddle

So the picks are locked and I like the strategy of leading without a pick in the Belmont. Good luck and I'll unlock this thread and untack it.

Since I'm out this is for fun:

Win- Exaggerator
Place- Stradivari
Show- Destin

I see that Stradivari is a 5-1 favorite at this time. Don't forget to get your picks in by noon Saturday.

Ok, here are the results of the second leg and the combined total (Check your own scores please):

4 Ever= 50 minus 30 plus 20 = 40
Whales= 0 minus 30 plus 20 = -10
Vette= 0 minus 30 minus 20 = -50 and Disqualified from further competition
Cid= 0 plus 30 minus 20 = 10
Terry= 0 plus 30 minus 20 = 10
Jolly= 0 plus 30 minus 20 = 10


Jolly +50 +10 = 60
Cid +50 + 10 = 60
Whales +60 -10 = 50
4ever -10 +40 = 30
Terry -10 +10 = 0

Congratulations to 4ever for picking the winner of the Race! Nice job everyone. Anyone can still win the Triple Crown.

it's raining in Baltimore today but I'm not sure it will rain enough to make the track muddy....if it is muddy , it will help Exaggerator

1. Nyquist
2. Exaggerator
3. Collected

Still waiting for 4 other picks by noon today. Anyone can put their picks in but only the members who put in their Derby picks qualify for the Triple Crown Contest. 

Win- Nyquist
Place- Stradivari
Show- Uncle Lino

I accidentally listed my horses in backward order. I submitted Gun Runner, Exaggerator, and Nyquist in that order and meant it the other way around...lol 

You should have boxed it. Or did I forget to mention that?

So here is the Breakdown for this First Leg of the Triple Crown. Congratulations to Chris (BabyWhales) who called the Win and Place Horses in Order!

Whales= 50+30-20= 60
Cid= 30+20= 50
Jolly= 30+20= 50
4Ever= -30+20= -10
Terry= -30+20= -10
Vette= -30+20= -10
Todge= -30+ -20= -50

Hang in there you players in the negative column. A good showing in the Preakness can put you right in this again.

All picks and changes have to be in by Noon today and I'll be locking the thread shortly thereafter. 

Clarification of the rules. If you pick a horse to Show and that horse came in first, second or third you get Show credit. You do not get Win credit unless you picked that horse to win. All three picks must be different horses.

My picks are just for fun and don't count.

Thanks, Terry. If I don't get enough members interested, I'm going to pull this. Maybe people think they don't know enough about horses but it's easy. Just look at the odds and pick a first, second and third place horse.

I wanted to make sure our Cafe Press site was still up and running and it appears it is. Kevin (RemembersHuff) added a couple of Ball Cap Items for us just now. So...the winner get his or her choice of any one of the BBH items. Final decisions will be made by the Moderators in a vote and I will be a tie breaker. I will not be entering the contest for ethics reasons.
