What a payday!

Well, my derby picks didn't pan out...but I didn't lose too much, so I'm not too sad...and I didn't see any of the'experts' picking either Giacomo or Closing Argument.

But how about that exacta payout? $2 Exacta (10-18) Paid $9,814.80, are you kidding me? $9,000+?!?!?! The field truly was wide open, and it will be interesting to see how high the odds go for the Preakness.

Here's the complete payout for the 2005 Kentucky Derby:

10 (10) Giacomo	102.60	45.80	19.80
