Final Result of Showdown #1
Winner: Matt Dinerman
Matt bet $100 and cashed $186 and almost hit a massive Exacta running 1st and 3rd. Had Battle of Midway placed I believe Matt would have cashed for over a $1,000
Loser’s: Larry the SportsCat and Joe Withee
Larry keyed Practical Joke which looked like at the 1/8th pole he might place but flattened out to finish 5th. Joe keyed on Thunder Snow who apparently thought the Derby was a rodeo..oops.
