... Hi gang. Sorry for the delay in posting this. Was driving from Southern California to Marin Saturday and Sunday (with a stopover in San Simeon to visit Hearst Castle for the evening tour Saturday night and a daytime tour Sunday morning).

Then, yesterday it was so hot I kept getting a CPU overheated warning and could not stay on my computer long enough to post this.

Anyway, the results are in --- as everyone knows, Monarchos was the winner. Talk is Money finished last, so the chip pool results are:

Scott Blackburn and Doris Margiera do NOT have to send the winners a chip, as they shared the last place prize. Ross Poppel should send his chip to Doris and Doug Spear #1 should send a chip to Scott Blackburn.

Everyone else has to pony up to Ross and Doug as follows:

To Ross:

Tommy Leggio #1
Ralph Myers #1
Bob Stoops #1
Mike Skelton #1
Doug Spear #2
Allan Myers
Jim Follis
Bill Thompson
Jim Fredrickson
Bob Orme
Mary Lou Eveland

To Doug:

Tommy Leggio #2
Ralph Myers #2
Bob Stoops #2
Mike Skelton #2
Jim Reilly
Todd Desnoyers
Paul Donohue
Steve Blust
Fred Bergman
Travis Lewin
David Markus

Scott, Doris, Ross & Doug should either post their mailing address here, send it via private email to those who owe them chips or sent it to me via email for forwarding.

Congratulations to the winners. Better luck in the Preakness for the rest of us. Will post information on that one early next week.
