Will Rogers Downs

In HTR2 on the download button WRD (Will Rogers Downs) isn't an option and therefore won't download files from that track even with "all available tracks" selected.

I often just use the HTR2 download on a daily basis for the downloads and then back them up with the File Rat every few weeks.

That's the way to do it. Only the tracks on the list shown are downloadable through the HTR2 program. The others are smalll, minors, and fairs with limited interest and the cheapest horses. I update the list as tracks open and close or change their status (slots, etc), but try to keep it at about 80.

Ken - that's fine easy enough to do through the File Rat.

But because it's unlisted Robot just groups all the unlisted tracks (WRD, Grants Pass, etc.) together.

I competely understand if there's just not enough interest in these smaller tracks.

Corey, we have users interested in individual smaller tracks and use the Robot to test them. Take these steps to test any track that is not on the Robot' checklist =

1. Create a separate folder for the track. In this case, make the directory for WRD.

2. Copy all the files for WRD into that folder.

3. Run the Robot from that folder and test "all" Since it is the only track in the folder, it will be a very fast test and give you results for that one track only.

Ken - once again, thank you for a fast response and a solution! I do appreciate it.

I feel that’s great advice for 99% of HTR players. Spot plays are only a portion of what the robot offers the player. If your primarily playing Hollywood Park (or Will Rodgers Downs) a single folder with just that track offers insights in seconds that used to take weeks (if at all) to uncover.

Churchill / Hollywood and Belmont: If you’ve been a customer for 12+ months give each their own folder and your well ahead of most players.

IMHO: Like handicapping in general; the Robot reports also require some practice to profit from. It’s unfortunately not as simple as playing all the top ROI’s and sipping umbrella drinks with Gupta in Vegas. :) :D

BTW: As we all know; there is gold in some of those minor tracks. Not Fort Knox because of pool size; but nuggets none the less.
