The 2024 Kentucky Derby Pool Contest- Results are up!

[Tessablue]

Tessa i think i'll send my mom's tomorrow. the whole week has been hectic with floods all over the state and they ruined quite a few of my mom's supermarket locations and she's also trying to find ways to help those affected so she hasn't had the time . that and the fact today my sister snatched a random stray off the streets and the day was spent trying to find a home (nothing yet) i think by tomorrow night at most i can get her picks.

No worries at all! I'm super late this year and probably won't have picks in until tomorrow night or even Saturday morning. No need to rush- hope everyone is okay, and it sounds like your family is doing some amazing work!

unfortunately my mom won't be taking part in this year's competition it seems the situation in my state just keeps getting worse, in my city the wall that was supposed to hold the river in case it overflowed broke down so a huge part of it is underwater and just getting worse because the rain won't stop, other cities are completely underwater, one of them has no signal so we don't even know how many people perished, i've truly never seen anything like it . my mom is busy doing her best to help in a basically impossible situation so she's obviously not in the right headspace. she wished everyone (especially the other moms) good luck! ♡

PS: the dog (or MR. DOG, as we call him) is still here, we have multiple people interested and a family will come view him tomorrow, so at least he is very likely getting a happy ending

Glad the pup will find a good home, but that's awful... totally understandable, no worries at all, and I hope everyone stays safe. My mom says she'll try to win one for the moms, and she's thinking of you guys and hopes everything turns out okay.

If you're wondering if we colluded on this, no, we always handicap the Derby separately. She says I just made the pools too easy
