Title: Seminar - jockey changes?
Post by: shanahan on October 24, 2008, 07:34:46 AM
I have seen at least 3 errors/changes in the program regarding Gomez...what gives?  For example, Wait a While has JV in the program...you have Gomez in the seminar...what to make of this?

In order for Paul to get all the slides done for the seminar on a timely basis, he used primarily the BC Pre-Entries file (which comes from Equibase listing riders) for inputs. That was drawn a week or so ago and not all jockeys were declared and some like JV were injured and it was unclear whether they\'d be available in time to ride. Riders changed, mounts were lost and some were gained and this wasn\'t all clear until the final cards were drawn. Not much we could do about it.
