That race (Sept 15, Race 1) is mis-reported by TrackMaster as running 6.5f on the INNER Turf course (lowercase 't' in the image), while all the other 6.5 races for the day show as running on the ONLY Turf course there is at KD - THE (Main) Turf course (uppercase 'T').

RDSS does not have an entry in its Par Times table for 6.5f on an INNER Turf course (there are no such races), so it could not handle it.

I have reported this data error to TrackMaster for correction. Meanwhile, I have added an entry in the RDSS Par Times table for 6.5f INNER Turf (Surface code = 'I') with the exact same par times as for 6.5f MAIN Turf (Surface code = 'T') because that's what it actually is.

After the next update, that horse's PPs will look like this (regardless whether TrackMaster fixes the data):

That horse's PPs are correct. It has only run 2 times and never at Kentucky Downs. Did you mean a different horse or race (perhaps the race reported above)?

Ted: This is an issue that I have ignored for awhile, but it needs to be addressed so that others don't have a problem. Whenever there are scratches at DMR, the lines no longer line up correctly on TOTE for that race. . For example, if #7 got scratched the WPS info lines up under #8 and so forth. I failed to capture a recent readout ......not realizing that DMR just closed the meet.....so I cannot attach it now. Furthermore, I don't know if this issue applies to other tracks. Guess I should have acted sooner.

Al, this is on the list of To Do's reported in the RDSS2.2 Release Notes 'Known Bugs and Problems', Point #2

"Missing Early Scratched horses in Southern California (SA and DMR) confuse RDSS. For these tracks, Early Scratches are omitted from the Past Performances: e.g. #1, #2 ... #4 - omitting the #3 horse."

Not the coming update in December, but the very next one - is my time frame to fix this. Thanks for the reminder!

Ted

Tom, this came up with another user 2 days ago, different track. Here's what we diagnosed - see if it applies to your situation.

Reason: with tote enabled (checkbox on Config) RDSS checks for tote data on the current race for today's card. When today's races are over - until the next day's tote data begins (say around 4am?) - the current day's race is the final race of the day.

When you work on a race card other than today (e.g. tomorrow) RDSS does not bother checking tote data. However, when you work tomorrow's race card after midnight, then it becomes today and then RDSS checks for tote data! After midnight and until fresh tote data arrives for the next day (or the tote data gets reset and no data is yet available) - since the current tote data available is still the final race of now yesterday (as of midnight), tomorrow's final race is then automatically assembled as usual (RDSS not knowing that current tote data does not apply to what is now tomorrow's final race).

The problem you (and the other person) see is when there are more runners in today's final race than in tomorrow's final race. SA Race 9 Jan 1 had 12 runners, while SA Race 9 Jan 2 had 9 runners. That's why you see 3 blank Entries and a screwy set of PPs. RDSS initializes tote (which affects the set of Entries, when tote is available) based on yesterday's final race, not on today's final race (after midnight).

This only happens for the final race, when one first assembles a race on a card with tote enabled after midnight.

If this also describes your situation, then the solutions are 2-fold:

Solutions:

1. Before opening tomorrow's race card, UNCHECK the tote setting on Config when working tomorrows race after midnight (and restart RDSS). Then the above problems do not occur. If you normally use tote data, remember to switch it back on tomorrow.

2. Don't work tomorrow's races after midnight (and before tote resets early in the morning, say 4am?)

If your situation is different than described, please let me know.

I might be able to perform an additional online data check for what DATE is current (i.e. today/tomorrow's date) to prevent RDSS from accessing tote during overnight hours when current tote data does not reflect the date you are working (i.e. tomorrow).


Ted
