After much scientific analysis Hooray For Saturday is the official winner of the LetterB Kentucky Derby contest! He picked Street Sense to win and and was the only contestant with another of the money horses in his set. Congratulations! (Email me your mailing address, HFS, and I will try to get you your prize before the Preakness.) Lea also picked Street Sense to win. Nice work! Thank you to all who played. I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart (and since I could not enjoy a nice bourbony Mint Julep this time around I needed that). I hope it made the race just that more exciting for you. A consolation prize will be coming to your email inbox.
If you missed the race or you just want to relive the glory of Street Sense's amazing run up the rail here is a great recap by Joe Drape in the Times. What a race. On to Pimlico!
Ah, damn! I thought for sure my luck was finally changing.
Congrats HFS!

I feel so...so...ignorant. Horses running in a circle (okay...oval) or cars (NASCAR). None of it makes any sense to me. That said, it's okay if someone else likes it. Wake me up when Pimlico is over.
