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.

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..
