This is the same bug in a different scenario. The '
SP' coded tracks represent
Simulcast Programming (often from South America) tacked onto the end of regular cards. As Richie says, just avoid any track codes labeled SP - I'll fix that in a future release.
The bug with Thistledown
TDN and River Downs
RD (Ohio tracks) has been observed and reported many times: these tracks sometimes run a co-mingled card, e.g. TDN runs races 1 3
5 7 9 and RD runs races 2 4
6 8 10 on the same day. The bug comes, like the SP 'cards', when RDSS assumes that the 3rd race listed on the card is actually race #3, when in the above examples it is not (instead it's race #5 and race #6 respectively).
I believe in the past, Kentucky Downs
KD has run at the same time as Turfway Park
TP and split their card this way. This does not always happen - sometimes TDN is all TDN and RD is all RD. To check on any given day if a TDN or RD card is co-mingled (and thus unworkable in RDSS), in the Data Centre, use the
Ctrl+click feature to click on a given card to open the Equibase Entries page for that card in your browser and check if the card is co-mingled before downloading (and Paying) for it.
I apologize for this continued bug. It will be fixed in the next major release. Meanwhile, if you are paying for RDSS cards other than the unlimited plan, just send a note to TrackMaster (
info@trackmaster.com) citing your name, TrackMaster User ID and the card (e.g. TDN 05/16 for RDSS) and they will issue you a refund.
