    back in college, my friends and i would get together and throw in $10 and draw horses names out of a hat, and if your horse won, it was a great day with the winner taking the pot. with it being triple crown time again, i am going to try the same thing, but with bourbon (or other) barrel aged beer. the cost of admission is 22 ounces of 90+ rated bourbon barrel aged beer, and you have to ship by 6/4. not yet sure how many horses there will be this year, but its usually around 10, so this will be open on a first come first served basis (can run two concurrent). please message me your contact info. i will enter all those interested in a random number generator, and the number you get is the horse you will own. the list of horses will be posted here when announced, so if youre 5th on the random generator list, you will have the horse at the 5th starting position. make sense? good. previous years are below as i plan on doing this for each race.

    If I go 3 for 3 I'll put everyone who has participated in all 3 races that hasn't won a box into a hat and what ever name is drawn will get a box from me.

    looks like we have 9 currently, and some project as many as 14 horses, so lets see if we can get a few more.
