If they really cared about this contest, you'd think that the high paid help would have read their rules.
From the site:
"Contest begins at 12:45 p.m. PST, Friday, January 4, and ends with the last race of the 2012 Santa Anita Autumn Meet, on April 21, 2013 or earlier when contest is decided." 
They repeat the error later on the same page.
"Winner Selection Visit ShowVivor, sign up, then select one horse on each of the remaining race days of the 2012 Autumn Santa Anita live meet (through Sunday, April 21, 2013"

I guess a disadvantage of taking last years rules and just changing dates

I'm still in - today is going to be a bloodbath - 1st time top horse did not make it (during this contest - day 6 today), but many horses didn't show today - probably under 400 left after next couple races.

349..knew today was tough. Glad Unusual jazz won the opener...I had him in the contest.
I made it to the final 16 in the first contest, getting knocked out on a terrible jockey ride (horse finished 4th by a head). Fun contest, but not easy.
Much tougher contest than people think it will be.

75 left today, and another 20 would have been eliminated from their picks except they forgot to close the entries/changes until after the 2nd race ended. Apparently some people left noticed this error and I get this email ->
Fans,
Thank you for playing ShowVivor. Unfortunately, there was an error that didn't turn off the contest in time today. Several players made selections after the cut off time.
Therefore, we are declaring today a "no contest." All contestants will go on to tomorrow, Sunday, March 17 without receiving credit for the day.
We realize that you work very hard to make your daily selections, and we apologize for this issue.
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE YOUR PICK FOR TOMORROW (SUNDAY, MARCH 17). YOU CAN DO THAT NOW: http://www.santaanita.com/content/showvivor
