Beginning at 10am ET on Thursday, April 30, we can visit Kentuckyderby.com to donate to support COVID-19 relief & pick the winner of the race for a chance to win the Ultimate Kentucky Derby Experience. Churchill Downs will match up to $1 MILLION in donations! Maybe we can do something here regarding this race? Edited by gtho4 (Sat May 16 2020 06:13 AM) _________________________ (*)> / ) /"

gracious1 Prolific Registered: Tue May 01 2012 Posts: 1749 Loc: New York USA	Hey, I was pretty close! If I had subbed Count Fleet with Seattle Slew, then I would have had the top 5 (though not in the correct order). I would have got the Exacta, though. _________________________ (*)> / ) /"

The title post said May 5, but the intro text below said "on Saturday" ....that's why we need an editor before we post What was this, BTW?
