Santa Anita Showvivor Contest
 

5 categories

Most consecutive ITM
Most consecutive winners
Most winners
Most place finishers
Highest win payoff

60 racing days, pick one horse per day

Anybody know what it took to win each category last year? Or what it generally takes to win? I don't know how long they've been doing this. I've noticed it for a few years anyway. I've never played.

I'm also not clear if a winner counts in the place finisher total.

60 days, 1 horse a day. Anybody want to speculate what it might take to win the 4 "most" categories?

I'm guessing:

Consecutive ITM- 25-30ish
Consecutive winners- 5ish
Most total winners- 22-27ish
Most exacta finishers- 40ish

Highest win payoff seems to be one you'd have to sacrifice even attempting the others and just chasing it. A standard will be set the first week, maybe like $80 or something, and then shooters will just be certain to use their pick of the day on something that will pay higher if it were to win.

I'm trying to figure out how to fit that one category, highest priced winner, into the whole scheme of things. That's the outlier. I noticed that wins don't count in the place category. That changes things also. You can't ride a handful of winners into the place pot.

Day 2 12/28/18

5th Race :6: Desired Edge

I saw that race. I thought she was going to make her way up the rail and take it. She was easily 2nd best today.

In the Showvivor, unfortunately, it's not worth anything more than a beaten fav. If she would have got up however, she probably would have taken down the $500 for highest priced winner. In the 2nd day of the competition.

She would have paid $266.80 for a $2 win ticket.

Waited too long. Didn't get a pick in. I didn't know you had to have them in 10 MTP of 1st race.

Bogus.

Well:

Saturday I didn't get my play in
Sunday- Bartlett Hall (S)
Monday- Justin's Quest (P)
Tuesday- Smitten Kitten (W)

Got a little 3 show streak going into next week.

Good call today, UC. What's your handle there (if you don't mind me asking)? You already know what mine is :cool:

I took Microrithms in the 7th today.
