Gulfstream Chart

Does anyone have the conditions of the 7th race at GP on Feb 11? Was it a simulcast race?

I was studying the GP charts for that day and noticed that the description of the race is missing.

Thanks, Bill. I appreciate the quick reply. It means I can keep working.

Wonder why yours was truncated? Does it happen often?

I wish I knew why mine was totally missing. I'll email them.

HDW dedicates 300 chars - anything past that goes into the bit bucket

Bill,

That may be the HTR export that limits the race conditions to 300 characters. We actually allocate much more.

This is a little off topic, but I checked for the longest race conditions we have on file. Here it is, in full glory, clocking in at 1273 characters, from Hoosier:
$50,000 Added. For Fillies and Mares, Three Years Old and Upward. Registered Indiana Bred. By subscription of $50 each which shall accompany the nomination, $200 to pass the entry box and $100 additional to start with $50,000 added (ITDF), of which 60% tothe winner, 20% to second, 11% to third, 6% to fourth and 3% to fifth. Weights: three-Year-Olds 118 lbs.; older 121 lbs.; Non-winners of $21,000 in 1999 allowed 3 lbs.; of $18,000 since September 9, 1999 allowed 5 lbs.; of $12,800 twice in 1999 7 lbs.; of $7,190 in 1999 9 lbs.; All maiden and claiming races for $20,000 or less not considered in allowances.

OK, you can take a breath now.

I believe that was the day of the power failure, right after the 7th was in.

Sorry for the misattribution, Ron. :blush:

That's interesting. I wonder if the power failure actually had anything to do with leaving the conditions out of the charts for one race that day? The running lines of the horses were in the chart for the race. Weird.

Maybe it's just one of those unexplainable errors caused by computer gremlins?
