Trakus

[Gerard02]

Anyone having trouble accessing Trakus times with Santa Anita?

The link on the SA page doesn't appear to be functioning, and unfortunately that appears to be where trakus.com guides you as well. I was able to back into this though from my web history, hopefully you can use this for now & someone will repair those other links.

Speaking of Trakus, you guys have to check this out. Look at the times for the Equibase charts below, then look at the Trakus times:

The scary part, after seeing how big the differences are, is that somebody thought it was a good idea to substitute a fraction from Trakus in with the others from the beam system in race 8.

I mean Trakus rarely ever agrees with the beam system but a good part of the time they are somewhat close. But these are MILES apart.

Just FYI you put the wrong link in for the Equibase chart on race 8.

This is disturbing. Am I right in thinking that the Equibase data gets propagated to all other data providers, Bris, Trackmaster, HDW, DRF ? Do you know if they fix it before it gets into the PP's?

Thanks, kindly!

I do know Ron Tiller of HDW has a routine QC check of all the data before he uses it.

No idea about anyone else.

I do and it has gotten pretty elaborate. This particular fraction was flagged with my favorite code---"No way in hell".

[Tom]

I should have said anyone else but CJ!

On a side-note, I like the continuous running timer shown in Australia during the Winx race....Why can't we have that here in the US? Run-ups would be easier to see and verify, along with every furlong time at your fingertips.
