;;; INSIDER INFO FROM THE DERBY CITY CLASSIC :::
Read the latest report from Pro9's mole at the 2012 Derby City Classic...

"Derby City High Run Challenge High runs yesterday:
John Schmidt 127 $300
Huidji See 84 $200
Darren Appleton 51  $100

... Niels Feijen got a 113, but it was after his first four tries and does not qualify for the daily , although it does qualify for everything else. Darren also got an 84 towards the event.

We had 12 guys buy in yesterday. Ralf Souquet made a return to the event after a hiatus of a few years, but only managed a 43 on three attempts. A few guys that are doing well in banks are holding off for now. I expected Danny Harriman to attempt but not yet.

John Schmidt had a 110 and a 249 in practice the day before the event started.

Darren won it last year, but said he had not been playing 14.1 for a long time. His 51 basically got him his entry fee back and he is now playing on the house's money. I would expect him to pick up the pace today. For the first year, we are allowing multiple buy ins, so that may affect the numbers a bit. We are expecting Mika to be here tomorrow. Johnny Archer and Charlie Williams and some of the other nine ballers probably won't be here until later."

Still some special offer prices available...

Shane was in all three finals, and won two of those, so naturally he won the all-around "Master of the Table" award as well... Legendary performance!
