Play Kentucky Derby 2024, KSR/WildcatChat Style

[Darrell KSR]

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

One year Oledon said he took the $100 and put it in his pocket. As I recall, he won the contest that year. Kingcat set an all-time record a few years ago, walking away with over $1k as I recall.

We'll use the correct odds, but here are the current ones, courtesy of CBS Sports. If you play early, watch for scratches (unless you just want a refund) so you can place another wager.

I hate to say it, but I’m all over Fierceness. I think this is Pletchers year.

1) horse won by 13 lengths decelerating at the FL derby

2) bad news… he’s never won two races in a row, runs great, then lays an egg.

…figure out wagers shortly.

I'll take 4 Woodford Reserve Spires and $12.00 on Catching Freedom to Win

[Catfan73]

$100 to win on Stronghold. I would order a beer but I’m sad that domestic beer and premium beer are apparently mutually exclusive, although I pretty much agree.

[Darrell KSR]

$8 exacta box
Just a Touch
Just Steel
Fierceness
Resilience

I think that's $96

$4 Mystic Dan to win.

Big winner... Nicely done! Eyeballing about $550 more or less on the across the board wager on Mystik Dan.

I walked off with $78 of my original $100, and I think everybody else went home broke.

Congratulations!

This may be the first year I made money, so the KSR bookies are still way ahead on my bets.

My favorite came in 15th. Thankfully I quit going to the derby years ago. Mine that Bird was the last time I had a winner.

Mrs. boss could pick’m, I have no doubt she would have had Mystik Dan today. I miss her deeply.
