MarylandAg has done an awesome thing and volunteered to donate a $25 money order to whoever can get the Kentucky Derby prediction the closest. It's free, so even if you know nothing about horse racing, put in a guess - you may get lucky!
You must select 4 horses. Win, Place, Show (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) with a 4th place finisher as your tie-breaker. If you should end up tied with somebody after the first 3 horses, whoever's 4th horse finishes better in the field will win. If both players are tied and have select the same 4th place horse, a tie-breaker will be determined later (probably selecting a stat or score in an upcoming Aggie Athletic event).
Use this thread only to post your 4 horses. Discuss your picks or make fun of someone else's on another thread. You may not edit your selections after you post them. If you wish to change a selection, pm me and I will update it for you. If it says - "edited by your username" your selection will not be valid. All picks must be in an hour before post time. Post time is scheduled to start (I'll put it whenever we find out :D ).
The point system is as follows:
25 points for correct Winner (1st)
15 points for correct Place (2nd)
5 points for correct Show (3rd)
There is a 10 point bonus for getting consecutive horses right (1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd)
Most points wins, tiebreakers are settled as per above.
The odds and horses are posted below.
Good Luck and Thanks Again MarylandAg
