Dozen TwinSpires.com Players to make Derby Show Bet for
$1-million
|
Twelve TwinSpires.com players have a chance to win $1-million by making a $20 show bet on the May 2 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The 12 players arrived at this point after making 19 successful show wagers on Kentucky Derby prep races February 7-April 11 culminating with American Pharoah's victory in the Arkansas Derby. If more than one person hits his/her Kentucky Derby show bet then they will split the $1-million prize, which is available either as a 40-year annuity or with a 50 percent cash option. In addition to the $1-million prize, all players who have participated in the SHOWdown game on TwinSpires.com are eligible for a $10,000 Kentucky Derby prize pool as well as other prizes such as event tickets and swag.

The 12 surviving players are: Matthew Ball of California, Charles Cornish of
Kentucky, Jeremy Enke of California, Justin Johnson of California, David Jones
of Pennsylvania, James Levine of Kentucky, Burnett Polk of Kentucky, Kristin
Stuedle of Kentucky, Bill Weber of Oklahoma, Robert Weir of Virginia, Kevin West
of New York, and David Wielga of Massachusetts.
"My strategy has changed as I progress through the contest," Johnson said. "I
started the game picking horses that I thought would win the race but eventually
made picks based on who would have the best chance of hitting the board."
Wagering on this year's Kentucky Derby will begin on Kentucky Oaks day,
Friday, May 1.
"We encourage all our players -- not just the 12 playing for a $1-million
pool -- to fund their accounts early," TwinSpires.com Director of Communications
Ed DeRosa said.
