Santa Anita’s Free Online Showvivor Contest Returns During Autumn Meet

With $5,000 in total prize money at stake, Santa Anita's popular “Showvivor” free online betting contest is set to return for the track's 18-day Autumn Meet, which opens on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Showvivor requires players to select one horse in one race each day they play, and that horse must finish no worse than third in order for the player to remain “alive.” A top prize of $2,500 will be awarded to the longest “show streak” achieved throughout the course of the meet, which will conclude on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Showvivor participants will not be eliminated if their selection finishes off the board. Instead, they will be able to begin a new streak the next racing day—with the eventual top prize going to the player with the longest streak.

Including the longest “show streak,” contestants will have five separate ways to win beginning Sept. 19:

SHOW STREAK: The player with the longest “show” or no worse than third place finish streak at the end of the meet will win the Grand Prize of $2,500. Players are advised to note 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 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: At the end of the meet, the top player with the most total wins will take a $500 cash prize.

TOTAL PLACES: This also carries a cash prize of $500 and rewards the player that selects the most total “places” or second place finishes.

WIN PAYOUT: At the end of the meet, the player who has tabbed the highest single day win payout will be awarded a $500 cash prize.

Players are encouraged to sign up as early as possible at santaanita.com/showvivor, although registration will be available after Sept. 19. As in years past, daily online selections must be made no later than 10 minutes prior to first post time, which will be at 12:30 p.m. each racing day.

Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $350,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing program Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $400.32.

The carryover jackpot is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, including a $47,000 optional claiming allowance for Florida-bred 3-year-olds and up in Race 8. Trev is scheduled to seek his sixth straight victory in the six-furlong sprint. The 10-year-old gelding's win streak, during which he has won five races by a combined 27 ¼ lengths, dates back to April 12, 2019. The son of Exclusive Quality came off a five-month layoff to win his 2020 debut by two lengths May 20 and will be entering Friday's race off a layoff of nearly four months.

A $60,000 maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds has been carded as Race 6. Gelfenstein Farm's Uncut Gem, a homebred son of Union Rags, is scheduled to make his debut in the mile race that attracted a field of 10.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude with a $20,000 maiden claiming race for 3-year-olds and up in Race 9, scheduled for a mile on turf. Race 9 will also be included as the second leg in Friday's Stronach 5 sequence. Race 7 at Laurel Park will kick off the Stronach 5 action, followed by Gulfstream's Race 9, Races 8 and 9 at Laurel Park and Race 3 at Golden Gate Fields. The Stronach 5, a $1 base wager with a low 12-percent takeout, will have a guaranteed pool of $100,000.
