I don't see Grants Pass Downs on TrackMaster. Any intel on whether they will be covered? They took over the old Portland Meadows meet.

Jeff,

Look in the All Tracks list for Track Code = GRP. (Uncheck and re-check the box in the Header to refresh the list, if needed). Rename the Track Name showing there by right-clicking where the red arrow shows in screenshot 1. Rename it to Grants Pass, per screenshot 2.

Select that track (any others if you like), choose All Available Dates, then click Display Available Cards. Races today and tomorrow!

Good luck!

I don't see GRP.

I got it. Thanks Ted.

1. In the Data Centre, click on Display Available Cards (hits TrackMaster server to see what's currently available).

2. In the All Tracks list, uncheck the box in the Header, then re-check it to display ALL tracks found in Step #1. That should reveal GRP (right-click to edit).

3. Select the tracks you actually want to see cards for (e.g. GRP), select the Date(s).

4. Click Perform Selected Tasks (presumably Download, Convert, Fetch TS Ratings).

5. Observe Progress Messages in the Progress box.

6. If you chose GRP for a date (e.g. today), when the Download then Convert Task is complete, it should show in the race Cards by Date Sidebar. (If Tomorrow, check the Future section in the Sidebar for tomorrow's date).

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are any fractions for the Grants Pass 2019. Hopefully, they will have them for 2020.
