This morning I downloaded 4 tracks. AP LRL WO and Bel. In my [Race Cards by Date listing] SP4 was also listed in my list of tracks. It did the same thing yesterday. Would you please tell me what is going on. Thanks
Some tracks card races simulcast from other jurisdictions, typically other countries. In addition to its own live races, Laurel Park commonly simulcasts races from various South American countries and these show up as a track code designated SPx for 'Simulcast Program'. Since they are not LRL races, they are designated separately according to the track code used. SP4 means that somewhere, there were 3 other Simulcast Programs associated with primary track codes elsewhere that day.

You can't open or handicap these races. Just ignore them.

FWIW, RDSS 2.0 will treat these SP codes a little differently.
