Congrats on being in 8th place, birthday girl. :p

That's weird. I signed up yesterday and am around 3500. I, too, assumed they ranked you in the order you signed up.

The field in this will get culled quicker than the list of Republican presidential nominees, that's for sure. Hoping to make it through tomorrow.


Ocala Mike

Already changed my mind 4 times for Saturday's pick. Right now it's Reneesgotzip in the 9th.

--Dunbar

lol.. me too...

I am afraid to take the obvious in fear of the chalk running 4th.

As of now I am going with American Blend in the 5th, but I am sure I will be more awake tomorrow and ask myself wtf was I thinking?! :D

Going with CHARM THE MAKER in the 9th.


Ocala Mike

"Leroy" got me through day one, going with Mr. Bossy Pants in the 3rd today. Good luck, it's a jungle out there!

playing-- Race 4: #06 - Mile High Magic for Day 2

Sat. 3/3 Contest Pick......
 

Race 8-#10 Twin Six

Good Luck All!

He scratched..

New selection is #3 Holy Candy

I used the Baffert/Lapenta in the 2nd. I used the Baffert who ran 2nd in the 1st on day 1.

Baffert is LOCKED AND LOADED.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3lDZ9MPFLs (Terrible sound).

I had Crossing the Line in that awful 3rd race...

Did they made the entire day null and void or only that race? Anyone know?

I love Bench Glory but since she doesn't have a jockey (she has Blanc :rolleyes: :D Always a bad omen. ) I will go with one I just like and not over think this... M One who could be 2nd or 3rd (won't win but I don't care, love him to death).

Good luck everyone!

Even though the 8 most popular picks came in, another few hundred people got knocked out. It's down to 1683 players from the original 6571. Those of us still in have almost $4 of equity each! (Equity = Prize money/# of players) We've built that up from the original 75c (5000/6571)

Looks like Lofty Ambition for me in tomorrow's 3rd.

Santa Anita showvivor March 2nd
 

Out after one day.

Still alive at Meadowlands, and lasted into the 5th day at Hawthorne.


Ocala Mike

I hope the people that picked horses in the 3rd were given a free pass being the race was declared a "no contest".

Sunday 3/4
 

Taking the easy train.

R3) #2 Lofty Ambition

I picked Mr. Bossy Pants and I was indeed allowed to continue, so going forward to today I picked #7 Slam Slew in the 2nd.

He was 3rd... good enough. Hope you all live to fight another day (I've missed every race prior so hope you all are still in).

Sorry. I shall probably be joining you on the next racing day (Thursday?)...

Hope you made it through today Mike.

Twin Six was yesterday's pick, not a good one as it turned out.

Well dang.... :(

Good Luck. I forgot to pick Sunday, kinda pissed at myself, but whatever.

With RHT out, it looks like the contest will end in a tie between Arletta, mmsc, and me, so it's not too early to start looking at the tie breaker rules. ;>)

In the event that multiple contestants are still alive on Saturday, April 14, then beginning with that date a tie-breaker will be put in place and will be in effect until the contest ends or the meet ends on Sunday, April 22. The tie breaker will be the highest show price payoff prior to April 14. The second tie-breaker will be the highest show price payoff after April 14. If a single Showvivor player wins the contest before April 22, then the tie-breaker condition will not be in effect. This condition will only take place should there be more than 1 contestant still alive after the races on April 22 or if the final contestants are eliminated on the same day.

At least there'll be something for all 3 of us:

$3,000 Grand Prize
$1,500 Second Place
$500 Third Place

I won't be crushed to come in 3rd to you two.
