My Races

Hi Ted,
When I sort the races for my desired criteria, the panel on the left lists them by track. Is it possible to list them by post time? A little thing but would make it easier to keep track of what is coming up next. Love the program it is really working well for me....

Thanks so much,

Dick

Hi Dick, glad to hear this version is working well for you, and thanks for the question. The answer is not special to RDSS 2.1 - it is the same for the current public version:

1. simply invoke the Sort/Filter mechanism, by checking the checkbox to the left of Scratches/Changes circled in red upper left (maybe I should label that better ...)
2. this activates the dropdown sort/filter arrows above certain columns, including Post Time (and Track, Distance, Surface, Type, etc)
3. click that particular arrow to get the Sort/Filter Dialog shown and sort by Earliest to Latest Post Times, per the example. (You could also try working with the Time Filters options on that Dialog, if you like). Click OK to perform the Sort.
4. Your races - including the races displayed in the left-sidebar - are sorted by Post Time.

Note that this works best when the tracks are all in the same Time Zone. I have not yet deployed the time zone normalization settings so each track's races times are shown relative to YOUR own time zone. Thus sorting Aqueduct on the east with Santa Anita on the west coasts would not sort correctly. A coming attraction ... (for several years now )

Try playing with other sort/filter options for the other columns. The collection of pre-fab sort/filters in the My Races Sidebar are nothing more than saved settings resulting from just the kind of actions described above. It has been my intention to make this pre-fab collection user-interactive (rather than canned), but I just never got around to it.



Hope that helps! In your email you mentioned some success using the new CR+ Class rating along with the Rx rating and auto paceline selection. Anything you'd care to share with us all!?

All the best,

Ted

Ted, thank you for the information. I never knew that sort function was there. I probably just missed it. That will work great as I think Twin Spires always lists start times as eastern. I will also try to write up my day yesterday and post it here. Thanks for all your help,

Dick
