REAL LIFE Oaks-Derby Double!

Post by Glenn Escobar »

It's a simple one, Folks!! The Kentucky Oaks is this Friday, and the Kentucky Derby is Saturday. Think you know who will win them both? Let's find out!!

You can make as many picks as you want, but every pick combination costs S$5000. If you want 2 in the Oaks, 3 in the Derby, that's $30K. 2 in the Oaks, and then 5 in the Derby? That's 50K, and so on. Please just list the horses you want in this thread, you'll be billed for your picks sometime Friday.

Get both horses correct, and you get the pot!! (Pot = 90% of the Total , 10% administrative takeout.)

Deadline for Pick Submissions = NOON Pacific Standard Time, on Friday May 5th.

I will start the pot with 50K in it to prime the pump.

Good Luck!!

Oh I forgot to mention............if no one happens to hit the Double, we will just carry it over and do a Black-Eyed Susan/Preakness Double.

New entries would be required, just that the pot would start out however much bigger.

Shiadra wins the Pot with Irish War Cry, Always Dreaming, Classic Empire or Irap.

If none of those win, the pot carries over to the Black Eyed Susan/Preakness Double.
