Received an email a few minutes ago from someone fairly high up on the ladder at Equibase --
One of the Jockey Club networks is down. The network itself (among other things) is designed to act as a fail safe by parsing the tote to pick up scratches that haven't been reported to Equibase by the tracks.
Right now as I type this, scratches and changes in the XML are those that have been reported to Equibase by the tracks. Missing from the XML are scratches and changes not reported by the tracks that (under normal circumstances) would be picked up by the back up system that parses the tote.
Hope I managed to type most of that in a way that makes sense.
Of course none of this would be happening if ALL of the tracks were making a good faith effort to report their scratches and changes directly to Equibase in a timely manner.
Now you know what I know.
