Title: TGAB-KD sheet trainer type-o for Johannesburg
Post by: Phil Mandl on April 26, 2002, 09:34:04 AM
You have the trainer listed as Wilson Brown instead of Aidan O\'Brien.  I\'m guessing its a type-o and the trainer stats are for O\'Brien? please let me know if the trainer stats are for O\'Brien.

And you have a trainer change from O\'Brien in the race summary for J\'burg.  Geez, @ $25.00 a pop you guys can hire a proofreader/editor.

TG--Without online feeds, we have to input manually the prospective derby contenders. In so doing, the horses take on the last trainer or in case of foreign horses no trainer, in which case, the trainer for the preceding sheet shows up again. I could have deleted all trainer info but thought it more important to give what we had with a few errors. That\'s the way our system works and sometimes we can\'t overcome the deficiencies. Attached below are stats for O\'Brien from last Oct. Since he doesn\'t race many horses in the US, the data are sparse at best. You can add another win since Johannesburg won the race.
