Exclamation PROBLEM with Preakness Data - Saturday Pimlico

Just d/l Preakness card and ALL DTV show as 0.

D/L twice just to make sure it was not an anomaly.

Agreed, and many thanks Jon and Bill! I forwarded this info to TrackMaster just now along with the underlying data file clearly showing DTVs = 0.

I'll report here when I learn the file has been corrected.

When it IS, in the Data Centre, folks will need to UNCHECK the DON'T DUPLICATE box, then re-download and re-convert that file.

The problem with this Preakness Pimlico day file from TrackMaster is resolved. There is a corrected file available now for download which now contains valid Daily Track Variant values.

Anyone who has downloaded PIM May 20 before about 4pm ET today should re-download and re-convert that file. Before doing so, remember to UNCHECK the Don't Duplicate box on the RDSS Data Centre (FORCE RDSS to re-download the new file and re-convert the now-corrected data).

FWIW, the problem was caused by incorrect processing of data for one horse in the Race 14 Arabian breed Stakes which caused an unexpected failure for all the rest of the horses running that day (and not only for RDSS data files). Greg at TrackMaster and I dug into the data and he found the problem and updated their code for processing Arabian races. This same problem should not happen again. Thanks Greg!

Ted
