Kentucky Derby - Bourbon Barrel Edition

this was run a couple years ago, and i must not have seen it last year. 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 derby 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 5/18. there are 20 horses this year (the 11 horse was scratched), so this will be open to 19 other people. please message me your contact info and/or post it here. i will enter all those interested in a random number generator, and the number you get is the horse you will own tomorrow. the list of horses are below and i will post a video for proof (hopefully). if youre 5th on the random generator list, you will have danzig moon as your horse. make sense? good.

payouts: first place will receive 12 boxes, second 4 boxes, and third 1 box. im open to changing the payouts, but this makes the most sense to me.

1. ocho ocho ocho
2. carpe diem
3. materiality
4. tencendur
5. danzig moon
6. mubtaahij
7. el kabeir
8. dortmund
9. bolo
10. firing line
11. SCRATCHED
12. international star
13. itsaknockout
14. keen ice
15. frosted
16. war story
17. mr. z
18. american pharoah
19. upstart
20. far right
21. frammento

good luck!

 

also, i will try and update participants as often as possible, but forgive me if there is a little bit of a delay.

 

so far we have 3:

1. houser
2. dave_treat
3. kingkevz

 

the horses will be assigned based on the number the random generator assigns to your name.

a little update since i was out this morning...got zero bites. as we are roughly 6 hours away from post, im going to keep this open for a while leading up till then. i will keep you posted as/if i get messages as well. worst case, we get at least ten people and each person gets 2 ponies. or people "buy" an extra horse, which means double the shipping. lets see what happens.

@Dave_Treat @kingkevz @cal1207 @Bjorn2bWild @TheHopBrewKid

 

im in agreement with that.

 

Nope still stuck on six.

 

Half hour left!!!

 

Let's call this off I think. I have a tight but not sure if worth it to do after the fact.
