Title: Race Shapes (really)
Post by: TGJB on April 28, 2008, 12:49:45 PM
We found a bunch of bugs in the Race Shapes, which is why we pulled them off the site and delayed a full launch. George has a little more programming to do, but it looks like we will be good to go by the weekend, hopefully in time to give out Derby day CD as a free sample. After debugging the stuff looks really good.

JB,

From a formula/program point of view, there is no way to deal with the jocks wrangling back speed horses on many synth/poly tracks. Don\'t remember the format, if you have a symbol or denote the track where the race shape took place.

Miff-- we list the track next to the adjusted quarter mile time for each race. Yes, tactics can change things, which is why we use an average of the last three for the Race Shapes.
