Same rules as last year but here is the refresher:
1) You have $10. You can buy as many horses as $10 will allow. You cannot buy the same horse more than once.
2) First place horse: 8 points
Second place horse: 6 points
Third place: 4 points
Fourth place: 2 points
Fifth place: 1 point
3) If you choose a horse and it scratches before 6:00 Eastern, you can choose any other horses for the same dollar amount. You may not change a horse once selected other than a scratch
4) All entires must be in by 5:00 EST on Sat. No exceptions.
5) This year, we have 2 prizes: 1) subscription to the HorseplayerNow Buzz featuring Jeremy Plonk from May 3 through the Belmont and a covers clothing item donated by our own Alex. The top winners get to choose their prizes.
The dollar costs for the horses will be released on Wednesday night following the derby draw.
Special thanks to Jeremy Plonk and Alex for the donations. Join the Horseplayernow gang on for their Derby race chat. I'll be there posting under DJ.

By the way, I expect this year it is possible we have two $4 or even $5 horses in AP and Dortmund. Thus, we will add a tie breaking rule for all the people that buy those two.

Rules are the same. Rather than create a bunch of new tiebreakers, I made the two big favs .50 so that anyone choosing them could have a 3rd horse.
The tiebreaker is the same as always. The best combined scoring with the horses you choose. In other words, if two people have 14 points, and one had the 1st and 2nd and the other the 1st, 3rd and 4th, the 1st and 2nd wins.
If you have the 1st and 2nd with the 19th place and another has the 1st and 2nd with the 15th, the second person wins.
As always, good luck!
