Richard Hoffman (Lionidze) was in 5th place with only the Derby to go in May’s $50,000 Derby Day Shootout when he picked a horse he’d always believed in – I’ll Have Another.
Hoffman first picked the colt in the winter book at 22-1. When it came time to make his final pick in the biggest Derby Wars tournament ever, he stuck with his early favorite. I’ll Have Another swept past pacesetter Bodemeister and into Derby history, clinching the game for Hoffman.
Richard scored the $20,000 First prize, his biggest win as a horseplayer!
Brian Cook (Wraith) won the $7,500 second prize, and Steve Pavich (Pav) was third, winning $4,000.
Your chance for big money is Sunday’s $30,000 July Shootout – $10,000 First Prize!
