- There are several problems that frequently show
up in results files that can cause auto-results
to fail.
- A horse that is in the results file is not in the handicapped data file.
- A horse's blanket number is out of post position sequence.
- A race is out of sequence. Race 9 and 10 are the first races in the file followed by 1, 2, 3, etc.
- After checking and making sure the data in each race is real, save the resulted race day file by clicking File; Save from the Main screen file menu.
Notice the Blue bar
above the Race Description Box.
When the blue bar is present, the file does not contain
the handicapped data.
The Blue bar means it is Rerun Data used by the Simulator
to replay the race.
The Rerun data file contains the pace figures and finish figures developed by the horses as they ran the race. Do not confuse the Rerun data file with the handicapped data file. Even when the blue bar is not present make sure the data in the Class column is not all 10's. All 10's in the Class column indicate that the file is the rerun file even if the blue bar is not present. In this case, be careful not to overwrite your handicapped data file with the Rerun data. This can happen if the resulting function failed for some reason.
If a horse name is in the data file but is not in the rerun file it is assumed to be scratched. If the name is in the rerun file but is not in the data file, the resulting function is aborted and the rerun data remains in the loaded file.
