RULES: HORSE RACING
Racing is the 3 legs of the Triple Crown: The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. Q1: Kentucky Derby The women wear fancy hats and the drink of choice is a $17 mint julep that makes your SEC stadium bud light look like a good deal. 20 horses are available and seeded. Choose 5 horses which add up to no more than 23 seed points. For example, you could choose horses with seed values of 8-8-5-1-1 (23 pts) but not horses with seed values of 8-7-5-2-2 (24 pts). You are responsible for knowing which horses are scratched from the race. Seeds are based roughly off the initial odds posted here Picks will stay open until just before post time; 5/5 3:25p Pacific. Any attempts to enter picks after this deadline will result in a severe decathlon penalty. Points: 1st place... 100 points 2nd place... 80 points 3rd place... 65 points 4th place... 50 points 5th place... 40 points 6th place... 25 points 7th thru 10th place... 10 points 11th place or worse... 0 points Q2: Preakness Nobody really knows where Pimlico is, altho it sounds like maybe there's a wormhole in Maryland just off Hwy83 that dumps you into New Jersey. Choose 3 horses which add up to 9 or fewer seed points. There are just 8 horses are racing, so you get a little more a third of the field. Note that all finishers will earn points. You are responsible for knowing which horses are scratched from the race. Seeds are loosely based off odds posted here Points: 1st place... 100 points 2nd place... 75 points 3rd place... 50 points 4th place... 35 points 5th place... 25 points 6th place... 15 points 7th place... 10 points 8th place... 5 points Picks will stay open until just before post time; 5/19 320p Pacific.

Picks will open once the posts are drawn and the morning line is set. Choose 3 horses which add up to 14 or fewer seed points.
