Ken should be up for the Nobel Prize with the new auto scratch function!
In an independent survey, it saves approximately 55 minutes per day! That is usually enough time to do your job and make your marriage work (for those with either or both).
I have to say that before this upgrade the best thing going was the auto download stuff from "another program". Now I have to say that saving 5 minutes or so with the auto download was nice. But saving an hour or more with this new feature kicks everything else to the curb!
Verizon and other companies should give Ken kickbacks since now it is almost stupid not to have internet access at the track.
Been awhile but this WOW is like the first time I saw Pamela Anderson running down the beach!
WOW! Ken! WOW!
Thanks a bunch and a bunch more! I owe you dinner next time we meet up in Vegas!
I am sure I owe Ron Tiller dinner as well, since he probably did a lot of work "behind the scenes" to make this happen as well!
HTR and HDW perfect together!

Jim....
Still laughing from this line......

I think you need to get out more!!!! LOL!
You'll have to pardon me. Many times I take a look at all the neat little features Ken puts into the program one at a time. This way I can absorb them and figure out if/how they will fit into my approach. Sounds like this one is gonna hafta be looked at when the kids aren't around the lights are down low.......:D

Hey Donnie!
Free jokes are worth the price! :D
When I get the chance on a Saturday or Sunday, I am forever going back and forth scratching horses and then I have to re-export the tracks. I have missed races and winning bets just doing the manual labor involved.
I guess it isn't a whole lot for a one or two track player, but trying to do scratches for lots of tracks is lots of clicking and lots of time.
Since 1 scratched horse can make a world of difference, this feature is worth it's weight in gold!
I would also guess if "another software developer" implemented something like this, there would be a hefty extra charge!
Even if Ken eats Kobe beef, I think we are making out on this deal!

To quote njcurveball "Ken should be up for the Nobel Prize with the new auto scratch function!"
I agree. Where do I sign the Nobel petition?? That function is a WONDERFUL addition!! Thank you Ken:) :)
On Saturday I was able to run the scratch function as new tracks came on line then re-run Ken's other WONDERFUL addditon - the Robots 'Get List' function that lists all my spot plays by post time. It was amazing to see my spots change as new scratches were added - and it took maybe a minute or two!!
Thank you KM.
