<p>Choose 4 horses in order.</p>

<p>For your first choice, you get 12 points if it wins, 9 if it places, 5 if it shows.
For your second choice, you get 8 points for a win, 7 for placing, 4 for show.
For your third choice, you get 7 points for a win, 3 for placing, 2 for show.
For your fourth choice, you get 5 for winning, 2 for placing, 0 for show.</p>

<p>21 points is a perfect score. Tiebreaker is whoever has the highest running horse out of the money.</p>

<p>Submit your entries, calculate your own score after the race. Winner will get all the money that I win from my MegaMillion lottery ticket from Saturday’s draw plus bragging rights and maybe even a prime number win or something like that.</p>

<p>All the info you need is right here:</p>

<p>H.M. Queen Elizabeth II is also in the audience today, no?</p>

<p>Street Sense won. You didn’t really put this far enough ahead for many people to post to it.</p>

<p>@ dank08: Yeah, I know. C’est la vie. The race really didn’t get my attention until Saturday morning.</p>

<p>Looks like I had 16 points. And that might win. And if I won, that’s proof there weren’t enough people who entered because I know squat about the ponies.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to the results for the entire field: <a href=“http://www.allhorseracing.com/kentuckyderby/2007/odds_results.php[/url]”>http://www.allhorseracing.com/kentuckyderby/2007/odds_results.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>haha, I know so little about it that I can’t even calculate my score… what counts as placing and what’s show?</p>

11

<p>Placing is if the horse finishes second. Show is finishing in third</p>

12

<p>so I had 13.</p>

13

<p>I had 12. Well, the best of luck to Street Sense at the Preakness! Praying for a Tripple Crown…</p>
