KSR Kentucky Derby Contest

[Darrell KSR]

Rules are simple--you have $100 pretend KSR-bucks to wager on the Derby, maximum 3 wagers. Person with the most money remaining after the race wins.

Last year badrose won with $320, and bought KSR drinks for the entire board. (KSR dollars go a LONG way in buying pretend KSR drinks).

One year somebody said they took the $100 and put it in their pocket. As I recall, they won the contest that year lol.

If somebody has the current odds and positions, feel free to post it. We'll use real, live results, though--whatever the true odds are when they run is what we'll calculate everything with.

Good luck! I may see if I can find a small little gift for the winner this year. Going to try to do more of it--maybe a $10 Starbucks card for the winner, gas card (that'll buy about half a gallon of gas, won't it?). Something like that.

$30 show bet on Commanding Curve paid off. If my math is right, I walk home with $231.

Hate to see anybody in trouble, and the Tony Danza pick did you no good either, so your holiday may not be as intense.

Great pick, I stayed away from exotics but it would have been nice to have your horse under Chrome for an exacta...I was going to trick out my 15 horse w/Chrome for shirts and giggles in real money betting, but thankfully I didn't spend any energy on derby this year...My horse was the most consistant horse in the race started 15th, and finished 15th...
