The winner of that race was bucking and playing in the paddock. I had a feeling she was going to run big. You could tell she was a happy horse

Longest show streak payoff more than win streak?
Bout 5-6 years ago YB had a whodoyoulike contest site..the longest show steak was the winner period..if you lost a race you started over again..at the end of the contest period the longest streak was the winner...and you could make picks at a number of tracks...in one of the contests i was the leader with 10 straight then my next pick failed...started new streak and got to 9 then the contest ended..winner had 16 straight..
16 is an amazing streak. The current leader stands alone with 11 and counting.

Today's card could be a bloodbath. With over 90 days left there's plenty of time to put a win streak together. I seem to be landing on Talamo in a number of races. The early double with his two mounts looks inviting if it pays anywhere near $36.

Best of luck to you and everyone playing!
