We have a Trifecta!

Preakness results have been added to the standings.
Eric hit the trifecta correctly picking Curlin, Street Sense, and Hard Spun to finish 123
So he added to his lead in a big way.
Our picks together we had 8 out of 9.
Eric had four horses total also picking Xchanger at 8th. Chet and Matt each had three.
If you want all the result I can post them.

Kentucky Derby Results

I had to come up with a good way of scoring that rewarded the people who picked the winner 2nd, 3rd , etc... .
I gave bonus pts of 500 to 1st, 250 to 2nd, 100 to 3rd as well as every horse you picked in order would gain you 500 more points until you missed one. I will explain better when in person.

Anyway as a group we picked the correct position of 14 of the 20 horses. Not bad. Eric led the way with 4 and Krum had 3. Matt, Chetley, Dale , and Krum picked the winner. Dale picked first and second correct. Nice work.The standing are on the side of this page.

The next race is coming soon be ready.

The sweetest swing

Baseball Tonight asked this question to the viewers yesterday. Who has the sweetest swing in baseball right now? Then also went back to anyone that you remember seeing swing the bat. I love Griffeys HR swing it looks so effortless and the way he sets the bat down behind him just looks so smooth. My second place is Manny Ramirez. The strength that he shows when he

hits a bomb and watches it fly is awesome plus he is a righty and they never get credit for sweet swings.

Who do you guys like present and past?

And one thing forget LeCroy and the Plummer of today does anyone think the the Royals new phenom Billy Butler looks like a high school version of Plumoff?

The Farm

So who is going to be the next to make the step up to the Twins this year? Everyone sees Garza coming up first but I have seen some names and numbers that look like the Twins have a few more guys ready to make that big step. Baker, Slowey, and Manship are the AAA arms that look to be overpowering that level and the bat of Moses could be the Gaetti piece to reliving the 87 magic. What is the talk from around the Cities and the rest of the State? I have to search for stuff and am probably missing the key ideas that the Twins are thinking with all of these top prospects. I would love to more about thse guys and when they are projected to see major league duty.

You need to pick all 20 horses finishing place
In the email I sent I showed how the scoring would be done. Multiply the odds to win by the correct place that you pick the horse in.
