Title: Pleasantly Perfect Gelded???
Post by: Upper Nile on October 21, 2004, 05:56:55 AM
Before the Dubaai race?  That is what his TG sheet says. Or... More importantly was that a neg 3 1/2 run in Dubai. It dosen\'t say negative # but my guess is that\'s what you folks intended instead of gelding.  It\'s mistakes like this that drive me batty. It brings into question the accuracy of all of the info. Regardless I would never even think of pushing my money thru the windows without TG.
Regards, Phil

Antonius Pius in the Mile also has been gelded 4 times! What should the notations after each of the tg numbers say instead?

Yeah, Greg is feeling pretty good today. A lot better than he did the day after Buckner.

\"Mistakes\" is overstating it. It is some kind of computer glitch specific to the Dubai races, the file we got from Equibase contained something that caused a number of horses to show as gelded there. We got the file late and were trying to make Fedex so everyone could have it today, so no one caught it then. But we did later last night, and it will be fixed. If that\'s the worst \"mistake\" we make I can live with it.

Antonius Pius never raced in Dubai. It\'s the anal proofreading & editing side of me coming out.  Working for a textbook publisher will do that to a person. After you folks make the fixes will I be able to download another set of sheets at no charge?

It\'s something in the file we got that triggered the \"geldeds\". Alan is checking to make sure specials can be downloaded again without double charging.

Title: Re: Pleasantly Perfect--Fixed (but not a gelding)

Okay, we fixed the file to delete the erroneous gelding designations. You should NOT be recharged, if you want to download the revised set.
