I'm still sitting on your winnings from your Derby bets, as follows:

"Congratulations to both Doc and JolyB!

Doc, I can't believe that exacta paid $69.60 You earned $243.60, nice work!

JolyB, your Friday exacta hit for $31.60. You also hit the $2.00 Oaks/Derby double, but I don't see a payout for that yet. I'll post it here when it's available.


edit: $33.20 for the Oaks/Derby double, JolyB. $64.80 total."

Please let me know what to do with the funds, PayPal, etc. Or I could hand both of you the cash at Saratoga! Road trip this summer, Jolyan?

Thanks for reminding me Tom. It's kind of funny that doing the handicapping and structuring the winning bet seemed much more important to me than "cashing" the ticket.

First of all, to show my appreciation I'd like to pay some of it forward by contributing $20.00 to the prize pool for the Saratoga contest if you are planning to host it again this summer.

If it is convenient, could you please send the remaining amount to my Pay Pal account, which is [e-mail]. 

Thank you again Tom.  The idea of a road trip this summer sure sounds appealing.  I introduced my oldest grandson to the Spa when we first met; I have a younger grandson who is almost old enough to appreciate the joys of Saratoga, and I believe it is every horseplayer's obligation to introduce their grandchildren to horseracing to help keep the fan base alive.

Thanks a lot for your generous gift to the Saratoga contest prize pool! I'm hoping to raise some in-kind and matching funds this year so we can have a really enticing prize structure for season 12. Anyone else who has enjoyed the competition over the last ten years and would like to contribute to the prize pool, please get in touch with me at trwdsd AT aol.com and I will make arrangements to lift your wallet...errr, gladly accept a donation!

I sent the balance of your winnings as requested.

Wow, thanks Doc!! I will put it into the Saratoga contest prize pool, that's awesome! So let's see, my $70, JolyB $20, 'shoes $40, DocSpa $100, that gives us $230. Any other philanthropists out there? Not too much, though, don't want Bobby Axelrod-type donations bringing the heat on us from on high.

I sent the balance of your winnings via PayPal, Doc.
