Santa Anita's popular free online “Showvivor” marks its return on opening day, Saturday, Dec. 26, with a new Total Win Earnings category and a Monthly Contest provision which will be included in the existing season-long total prize money awarded of $5,000.
With special early first post on opening day pegged at 11 a.m., the contest offers fans a variety of cash incentives, highlighted by the $2,500 top prize, which will be awarded to the longest “Show Streak” over the course of the entire Winter/Spring season which culminates on June 20.
Registration at showvivor.santaanita.com is free and easy and Showvivor participants can select one horse from one race each racing day. That horse must run no worse than third in order for the player to “Showvive.” If the player's selection fails to run 1-2-3, that individual is not totally eliminated, as he or she may start up a new streak the next racing day. The player with the longest “Show Streak” on June 20 will be declared the top prize winner of $2,500.
The longest “Show Streak” is just one of five separate says to win beginning Dec. 26.
SHOW STREAK The player that has the longest “show” or no-worse than third place finish streak at the end of the Winter/Spring Meet will win the Grand Prize of $2,500. Players are advised that if they fail to make an online selection on a given day, their streak is still alive, but they will not receive credit for any days missed.
WIN STREAK This carries a $1,000 prize and is intended to reward players who have selected the most consecutive first place finishers. If a player fails to make a selection on a given day, his or her streak may continue, but the player will not receive credit for any days missed.
TOTAL WINS On closing day, June 20, the player that has selected the most total wins will receive a $500 prize.
HIGHEST SINGLE WIN PAYOUT This carries a $500 prize and will be awarded to the player with the single highest win payout (on a Two Dollar wager) over the course of the entire meet.
TOTAL WIN EARNINGS This is a new Showvivor category which carries a prize of $500 and is awarded to the player that accumulates the highest total dollar amount-won based on their selections at the end of the meet. For example, each time an entrant's selection finishes in first place in the official standings (Wins), the dollar amount, based on Santa Anita's official Two Dollar Win payout, will be added to that player's total money-won to date. The winner will be determined on closing day.
MONTHLY CONTEST, NEW WAY TO WIN Separated into five different date ranges, beginning Dec. 26 through Jan. 31, and ending June 4 through June 20, the winner, by Total Monthly Win Earnings, of each of these individual calendar periods earns an entry into the next $500 Live Money Handicapping Contest via Xpressbet and thus an opportunity to compete for more cash and prizes. No exchanges are offered.
Entries for opening day, Saturday, Dec. 26, will be taken this Monday, Dec. 21. For additional information on ShowVivor, please visit santaanita.com or call (626) 574-RACE.
