With less than 1 week to the Kentucky Derby, I present the Triple Crown/Horse Racing Feud! Object of the game: Give the most popular answer for each category. Rules: 1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed. 5. The game will end either when it reaches 50 entrants or on Friday, April 30 at noon, whichever comes first. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None Formatting rules: To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. Scoring: With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Good luck! Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: None Special credit to 42fish, from whom I copied these rules. 1. Other than Secretariat, name a horse who won the Kentucky Derby. 2. Name a horse who won any Triple Crown Race (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, or Belmont) in the past 10 years. 3. Other than Secretariat, name a horse who won the Triple Crown (must be different than your answer for #1) 4. Name a famous Thoroughbred racehorse who did NOT win any Triple Crown race. 5. Name any famous female racehorse (filly or mare). 6. Name a famous Thoroughbred racetrack that has NOT hosted a Triple Crown race. 7. Name a famous jockey, past or present. 8. Name any popular song that references horse racing. 9. Name a movie that was primarily about horse racing. 10.Name a movie that was not primarily about horse racing, but featured at least one scene at was either set at a racetrack or involved horse racing in some other way. ---

I guess I should have specified that #1 and #2 should have different answers. But, I didn’t, so we’ll leave it as is. ---
