Only 8 left with 14/14 show streaks. One of the 8, Sacatbox, is also just one behind in Win Streak and Total Wins.

Sorry if I talked you off a winner, but if it makes you feel any better you wouldn't have even gotten 1/16th of $500, the tiebreaker for highest win payout is longest show streak, and player kriskring3, who picked the longshot winner as his/her pick yesterday, previously had a show streak of 8 in a row, which gives him a clear lead over everyone he is tied with, seeing how there are only 5 race days left, and none of the other players have an active streak higher than 3.
Now that the bar has been raised to $97.20 it's going to be a lot harder to find a sneaky horse that will pay that much, you just have to take the longshot and hope for the best, maybe one can find a 20-1 in a big field that gets overlooked.
