Santa Anita's popular free online “Showvivor” will again be available to players everywhere beginning Opening Day, Tuesday, Dec. 26. Fans can play for free at santaanita.com/contests.

Additionally, beginning Saturday, Dec. 30, Santa Anita's $18,000 Santa Anita Pick 'Em Contest returns. An online contest that mixes popular sports props including horse racing and football, Santa Anita Pick 'Em will be offered every Saturday and Sunday with $500 in prize money paid to the top winner each day.

To sign up and for additional details regarding Santa Anita Pick 'Em, please visit santaanita.com/pickem.

With special early first post time for an 11-race card on Opening Day at 11 a.m., fans are encouraged to register to play at showvivor.santaanita.com prior to first post time. The contest offers players 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 Santa Anita's Classic and Spring Meet, which will conclude on June 18.

Players 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 16 will be declared the top prize winner of $2,500.

Fans are advised the longest Show Streak is just one of six separate ways to win beginning Dec. 26.

SHOW STREAK The player that has the longest “show” of no-worse than third place finish streak at the end of the Classic Meet will win the Grand Prize of $2,500. If a player fails to make an online selection on a given race day, their streak is still alive, but they will not be given 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 18, 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 wit the single highest win payout (on a Two Dollar wager) over the course of the entire meet.

TOTAL WIN EARNINGS This is a Showvivor category which also carries a $500 prize 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. 28, and ending June 1 through June 16, 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 at Santa Anita and thus an opportunity to compete for more cash and prizes. No exchanges are offered.

Entries for Opening Day, Tuesday, Dec. 26, are available at santaanita.com. For additional information on ShowVivor, please visit santaanita.com or call (626) 574-RACE.
