Belmont Stakes

You know how horse racing works by now. Give me three in order. Some people have have given me an alternate in case one of the original three scratch before post. I don't think I will get the picks up before post time because I will be at a wedding (Congratulations to Wade).

The post is sometime after 5:00 so try to have your picks in before then.

Saturday, June 6th

Kentucky Derby

The Derby is Saturday, May 2nd at 5:00. I will try very hard to be home to watch it and post predictions right before post time.

What I need you to predict is win-place-show.

Post positions and odds can be found at this link:

Points:

15 points - 3, exactly right
10 points - 2, exactly right
9 points - 3 finishers, 1 exact
7 points - 2 finishers, 1 exact
6 points - 3 finishers, wrong spots
5 points - 1, exactly right
4 points - 2 finishers, wrong spots
