KEY question

[The Pook]

Why do key horses sometimes change overnight? I have found that quite often when reviewing races the following day horses marked as keys the day before have changed position on the New Pace screen and in some cases have changed to non keys.

These are PP downloads only so there should be no affect from results.

hind sight is 20/20?

do the keys get better or worse?
if they are becoming more accurate after the race is run, that seems funny

question
are there scratches after the races you are looking at?
if the number of horses change, the matchup will change
so if you look before and after scratches, that might make a difference

Also - the day before, TS Ratings are unavailable, including ProfitLine which is part of Rx3, which is involved in Key selection

When you open a previously assembled race on the day of racing - IF you have the Config settings on Get TS Ratings - when RDSS finds no TS Ratings for a race, it will try to fetch them and when successful, it will display them and use them in the Rx3 calculation and thus in the subsequent Key horses determination.

This would explain the difference between Key horses the day before racing versus the day of. Also Scratches, per Dan's suggestion.

Is this a possibility?
