If memory serves, it is usually on the Tuesday, maybe Wednesday of the week leading up. They typically release only ONE file set, rather than several updates, and tend to wait until a certain cutoff date to get as many Workouts included as possible.

So, April 30 or May 1?

Out of curiosity, could RDSS even list it if it were out earlier? Doesn't the all available dates just go 3 days before and after the current day?

Well... it it were released earlier, I guess you could make it its own track if that is an option. So download the file from the track Kentucky Derby instead of Churchill Downs.

Right now the RDSS Data Centre lists tracks and dates between April 25 and Thursday May 2 - all that are currently offered by TrackMaster (https://www.trackmaster.com/perl/client_list.cgi?rdp). In 2 days, Saturday May 4 tracks will show. Probably Churchill Downs May 4/Kentucky Derby will show then. I don't see any other special track code including Saturday May 4 showing up before then and haven't been advised so.

Hopefully 4 days advanced notice for the Derby will be sufficient :) Good luck Dan!

Thanks Ted, waiting to see if I can make something happen with the pace vectors this year.
