Race 1, Hurricane Callie
(I have a friend named Callie, and she's a southern hurricane, for sure.)

My pick, Hurricane Callie, lost the photo for 1st by what literally looked like 1 inch. I don't think it could have been any closer without calling it a dead heat. That may end up being important, because 'most wins' is the tie-breaker for the show streak. And with only 19 racing dates in this Showvivor, more than one player will most likely finish with 19-in-a-row.

Sunday was definitely a much tougher day than Saturday, as the number of players with a perfect show streak was cut almost in half, from 2,476 to 1,289. The number of people who had back-to-back winners fell all the way from 1,874 all the way down to 190. I was lucky that my pick in the nightcap won his win photo, so I am one of the 190. It's still very early though, during the winter meet only two players made it through the first 19 days of the meet without missing. I fully expect at some point that a huge favorite will finish off the board, and that will thin the field considerably if it happens.

After the first 2 races
915 players got at least a "show" 26 got nothing. Just 2323 made picks today, down 500 from yesterday. But almost half of them are already successful after the 1st 2 races.
