Derby Wars hosted the biggest contest in our brief history this past weekend with the $30,000 April Shootout! There were 195 entries at $175 apiece and the event consisted of 15 races from Aqueduct, Oaklawn on Arkansas Derby Day and Keeneland on Blue Grass Stakes Day.
Although many of the 15 contest races had double-digit field sizes, there were no big-priced winners in the tournament and the winning score from $15 mythical $2 win-place plays was merely $96.20. And grinding out the victory was chuckk, Chuck Kuehhas from New York City, a long-time DRF employee whose name occasionally pops up in the selection boxes of ‘America’s Turf Authority’.
