Race 8 #1 Mizdirection was my pick

went to see favorite horses and picks were still open so tot test them
I picked the 4 in race 1 after it was official and got confirmation,tried emailing a reply to them about picks were open after race was over.sent back as undeliverable.so went to Santa Anita website and e-mailed to Technical Website Questions with no luck,so went thru showvivor rules and finally found a e-mail address.
Just heard back and can't believe this thought they would DQ me or cancel today all together ?

George,

It seems that you have the pick Gittel, which means that you are still in. Please do not make picks after the cut-off, we are looking into why you were able to make a pick after the race went official. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

leaving his name out but it is in the rules section if anybody wants it

If somehow i win it (with a $6.00 show as a tiebreaker)
Disabled Jockey Foundation will get it all.

Looks like today was a free day for everyone still in the contest, as they experienced some problems like TR stated above, or they just didn't update them as of tonight. But I find it hard to believe that they haven't updated it yet.

George,

Unfortunately, we cannot change your pick as the program will not allow us too. However, I do have your e-mails on file and you will not be eliminated from the contest. If you are to survive, we will reconcile this win at the end of the contest in case of a tie breaker.



Thank you for your honesty, and the best of luck for the rest of the season.



Thanks,

Tiger...an honorable move indeed. It is nice to know that if I was standing with you in the final two, I would have no remorse finishing second to an upstanding citizen! Well, that would mean another 2,000+ would need to drop to get there.... It would have been nice to see the 800+ drop out with their pick of Unzip, but a last ditch effort for a deadheat kept them all alive for another day.. Good luck to you!!
