The betting window is open for "The Page 2 Derby".

It's an impressive field for our final race, featuring the best animal names in pop-culture history. Bugs Bunny set a track record taking out Snoopy and company in the cartoon group. Nobody should worry about our friendly neighborhood gopher from "Caddyshack;" he is still doing alright. Spuds McKenzie advanced in a photo finish over the Budweiser Frogs. And Kermit proved it's a little easy being green against his multimedia brethren.

Our four champions are at the gate and await your vote, so don't miss out.
