Hi KC - the TwinSpires ratings seem to be available for the current day starting around 6-7am Eastern Time.

However - be cautious about trying to assemble races early overnight for the next day - for example between midnight - 3/4am. If you have the Tote and TS Ratings/Scratches boxes checked on the Configure Screen, the Tote and TS Ratings figs RDSS fetches will be for the PREVIOUS day (if the track was running), not the UPCOMING day - and as a result all your readouts will be screwed up.

If you must handicap next days races overnight (e.g. before 6/7am) - first UNCHECK the Tote and TS Ratings/Scratches boxes on the Configure screen, restart RDSS, THEN do you handicapping for the next day. This way, RDSS will not try to fetch TS Ratings and Tote data for the wrong day. In the morning, simply turn those settings back on, update your TS Ratings and proceed with your handicapping.

Good luck with Rich Mathie's 4-Factor Method and with everything else in the Sartin Methodology. One day I'll take you up on your offer at Oaklawn! Sadly, Rich has passed on but is with us in spirit. We can raise a toast to him
