Title: Dubai World Cup card--Missing races
Post by: TGAB on March 29, 2007, 07:56:31 PM
In a little while we will put up the Dubai World Cup card (Nad) along with the rest of tracks for Saturday. We\'ve made figures for a lot of races, not for others and in some cases there are missing races and figures altogether. We didn\'t have enough time to manually input the races. We do not have a foreign database encompassing all the countries from which the entries hail.

We did the best we could given the time and data constraints. We think there\'s enough information to make informed judgments. Customers requested it and we want to play ourselves, but frankly, it\'s not up to usual Thoro-Graph standards.

Do you guys have a rough idea from the past DWCs how much the lack of lasix brings down the numbers for the US runners?

There\'s no set formula-- some horses need the lasix, some don\'t.

On the missing races for the Dubai card, what Alan means is there should be boxes, and there are not. If you look at the first horse in the first race you will see what we mean.
