Slop - Pace and Cap

joefour · 08-26-2013, 05:10 PM

I guess this question is aimed mainly at Ted, but I'll be glad to hear from any one else in the bunch that might know, since he's at present busy in Sunny So Cal. What does Trackmaster do with its PP files that were for sale and download, but the races have already run as of today's date? The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to start keeping track of how the Matchup works on a sloppy track. I asked a question about this some time ago and several of the veterans on the forum seemed to think The Hat paid no attention if today's track is in the slop. I have nothing like it in my own collection because I've always been a stickler for today being fast/firm. I looked up a whole bunch of races in our resident databases and couldn't find anything except one muddy track at AQ last spring. The near future really doesn't have many gullywashers in the forecast that I can see. (Where's a T-storm when you really need one?!) Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Joe,

1. You can buy individual older RDSS race cards from TrackMaster, for $2.00 each I think. Just send them a list of dates.

2. You can find such past race dates run over wet tracks by checking a random race card's Past Performances looking for dates of wet track races run on your favourite track(s).

Cheers,

Ted

OK Ted,

I'll look into it further. Thanx

Joe
