Here we go again...somebody here grab this one...we are due.:zz:
Yikes, 6 months...hope i last more than two days:D

6 months. Makes Thoroenduro look down right short. Thing is though I would probably be lucky to make it 6 days.

That is my goal too:wf

I don't know what to do with myself with all the contests ending... I'm ready to start another one! :D

Making Christmas cookies can only kill the time for so long.


I am sure I will bomb out after day one though :wf

Im ready :D

They're going to June?????

Might as well sign up for Showvivor II at the same time.

I don't think anyone has read the rules. No one is ever out of this contest.
If your horse fails on day 1.....

Good luck to all!

Guilty :o

"In the event that the entrant did not make any selections or missed the deadline to make selections, the entrant will not be allowed to make a pick for that day. The entrants "Show Streak" and "Win Streak" is still alive, but will not get credit for that day."

I don't like this format much. If you take it even semi-seriously, then you're committing your attention for 6 months. You could run a 60-day streak of successful show picks, have by far the longest streak, but still feel you need to start a new streak in case someone passes your 60.

Previously there was satisfaction in watching the field quickly narrow down. Going from 6000 entrants to 600 usually took, what, a week? Now there will be 6000 for the duration.

That said, the new format is a smart move by SA. Instead of a handful of people paying attention after the first 2 weeks, they will probably have thousands still playing and paying attention for months.

Dunbar has nailed it!

Marketing ......... hmmm, what a concept :rolleyes:

Longest show streak payoff more than win streak?
Bout 5-6 years ago YB had a whodoyoulike contest site..the longest show steak was the winner period..if you lost a race you started over again..at the end of the contest period the longest streak was the winner...and you could make picks at a number of tracks...in one of the contests i was the leader with 10 straight then my next pick failed...started new streak and got to 9 then the contest ended..winner had 16 straight..

Same here!

--Dunbar

1st Crusher

get it over soon

There is no "over".

Race 2 not 5 eh...and he won:tro:...and looks like everyone scored today except me:eek:..and my first pick ran 3rd..so much for switching..no problem, start new streak tomorrow..:D

Wife decided she wants to go to the Derby this year so I was busy studying the seating situation and waited too late to put my pick in. Didn't matter, he ran 4th. Derby situation looks bleak. Several hundred dollars just to sit on bleachers and uncovered ones at that, but I realize, it is the Derby. Probably worth it, I guess.:zz:

My nephew lives in Richmond KY and for years got 4 reserved seats for the derby...would ask me every year if i wanted to go but begged off, didn't want to fight the crowds just to say i had been to the derby..:) I prefered the otb or puter and tv..He would call me from the track and ask who i liked..after a few years of laying :zz:stiffs on him he doesn't call anymore:D

I may end up going anyway. Wife giving it to me for my Christmas present.

That's a great Christmas present! :)
