You should have received the email...they said they had a problem and some couldn't get picks in so they cancelled...GL on your quest, how many racing days left?..I'm still trying to catch an old friend with biggest win payoff, not much chance..

By my count, still 50 racing days left (13 4-day weeks but no racing Thu-Fri Apr 23-24 for some reason.) Some of the top players got knocked off yesterday, including someone who had 26 in a row, but still really need the top pick of the day to fail sometime soon, I don't think the top pick has run out of the money since Appealing Tale back on 2/20.

I found the email that Santa Anita sent me, it had been sent to my junk mail folder and that was why I didn't see it, I thought they had just forgotten to update the leaderboard.

Your friend has a good chance, the tiebreak (as I'm sure he well knows) for highest win price is the longest show streak, and he's only one behind, and well clear of the other three tied players. So he has to play it straight and hope there are no $177-up winners. I'm right on his tail in 2645th place so watch out.
