[tenfurlongs]

Note to contestants: Just to be clear, CherokeeScot has posted an alternate for each race, to be used to replace an EARLY scratch, before Race 1 post time. He is doing this because he is WAY out of town (Dubai) and won't be able to edit selections after the early scratches. If you are in a similar predicament, feel free to do the same. Good luck!

Final results after Race 12: Congratulations to cruzan2002, the 2018 UIC Tampa Handicapping Contest CHAMPION!! He had the BIG horse in the Tampa Bay Derby, Quip, at 19-1. CherokeeScot was around the lead all day, just came up short in the last race. Thank you to everyone that took part in the tournament, hope it was fun. Robert, you get the winner's prize of $120, a handsome trophy, and a Tampa Bay Downs baseball hat. Let me know what you would like to do with the funds, and how to mail a package to you. A photo of you wearing the hat and holding the trophy would be cool, perhaps you can post that at the right time! Bev, let me know what you want to do with the $40 runner-up prize. Keith, Gene, Doc, and Ron all have a $10 Kentucky Derby wager for the first Saturday in May. Post your picks here, or maybe in the Triple Crown Forum when the time comes. Thanks!

[cruzan2002]

I sent you a PM but this new website confusing me with the PM. Let me know if you received it. Thanks

[cruzan2002]

Thank you very much Dell

[cherokeescot]

Thanks Tom for a great contest. I went to bed and I was in the lead and woke up to the result. Congratulations Cruzan my new nemesis 😉

[DoctorDisaster]

nice...you look fierce! orange definitely a good color for you...not sure where you live but guessing it is someplace warmer than Canada given the plants and lack of snow...congrats on a nice victory. having said that, i think the tampa swag would have looked nice with Bev's kilt, as well.

[tenfurlongs]

Excellent Robert! Thanks for posting that picture. Definitely rocking the orange, I was worried that the hat was too loud. Nice job, Champ!

Man I'm loving it like McDonald. LOL

[jolyb]

A question for Tenfurlongs: Tom, I know that you had requested that winners of any contests in the Tampa Bay series place their wagers on the thread for the contest in which they had won. Unfortunately, with the change of websites those threads are no longer available, so I'm posing my question here.

I had some winnings from earlier contest days that I still haven't used; $5 for a second place on December 9 and $40 for a first place on January 20. I would like to continue to wait until Kentucky Derby weekend and use them either on the Derby undercard or perhaps the Oaks/Derby Double. Do you have any objections to this?

Thanks very much.

[tenfurlongs]

That's fine JolyB. I would suggest posting the picks on the Triple Crown forum under a title that includes "Attn. TenFurlongs...", or I'd be liable to miss it will all the chaos of Derby Day. Thanks!

[pedalcar]

Tom, I will be leaving this weekend for a cruise and will not be back until after the derby. With my $10.00 bet may I have a 1.00 triple on the following horses:

Bolt d’ Oro and Mendelssonn over Bolt d’ Oro and Mendelsonn over Justify, My Boy Jack, MagnumMoon, Bravasor, Blended Citizen. If any scratches replace with Vino Rosso.

If this is to much of a problem I understand. Good luck with your picks.

Thanks, Ron

[tenfurlongs]

No problem at all, Ron. Enjoy your time at sea! Ask the captain if you can steer for a while.

Tom

If you could put the $40 to win on Breeze Burner in the 10th race at Belmont on Saturday that would be great

When he wins you can 50% of the proceeds into the Saratoga Contest pool

Cheers

Bev
