*Problem Loading Belmont Stks Day Card*
It appears there is a problem loading the BEL0607 TrackMaster data file (i.e. the TMPP file) in all versions of Speculator and Validator (including the file exported from RDSS). RDSS itself works fine.
Message says 'Data width error...' then the program crashes. When you open it up again, complete data does not display. I'm looking at it to see if anything can be done. I've contacted TrackMaster for any assistance they might be able to render. Ted

The problem is in the 3rd race, horse #5 Seeking No More. Last line on May 17, 19 furlongs, final time given as 4639.5 (or 6 minutes 34 seconds) blows these old DOS apps
I'm trying to see if I can cure the data file. If I get permission to make it available, I'll do so. Ted

Here's the beginning of its PP: the final time should be 6:34.0 but is shown in the data file as 46:34.0 Val and Spec did not anticipate a race lasting 46 minutes...
I wrote to TrackMaster, pinpointing the erroneous data, and asked if that file could be regenerated. Let's see. Ted

OK, I've talked with Jim and Doug at TrackMaster and it's agreed it was bad data from Equibase (clearly even the last race 6:34 final time is incorrect). They've fed this back to Equibase and are waiting for a new data set and will generate a corrected file ASAP.
I'll post here when I know that an updated file is available. If anyone can advise SartinAlums, I'm sure those readers will be interested. Ted P.S. If anyone wants to give RDSS a go, just write me (ted@artofpace.com)
