Within the Robot2 (3/8/09 version) and HTR2(3/1/09 version) I am seeing the same behavior.

The alphabetical last track of the day is not being dowloaded when the Data or Charts is selected for download. I checked the list of tracks available thru the website download option from the htr.horsedata.com website.

Specifically, I am unable to download WRD files.

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I think it might be a bug.

No bug
WRD is not on the track list in HTR2 or in the Robot

It was ranked 88th in handle in N. America or something, so i left it out and took top 80 only

You can get it from the archived site http://htr.horsedata.com or use the File Rat and set the all burger

Ken,

I understand needing a cut-off and not wanting to cover every track.

I was just surprised that Will Rogers didn't make the cutoff since it appears that it out handles two of
the tracks where I worked last year (both of which are listed in HTR/Robot).

Today WRD handled $270K+. I don't think that either ARP or ALB did that on any day last year.

No big deal either way since I am not betting WRD. I was just curious about their product and surprised not to see them listed. I am glad that it is not a bug in the programming.

I update the track list every year, will add WRD next time if another track closes, and i'm sure that will happen by 2010.

Point taken about WRD handle, i was using stats from 2004 or so when i first created those lists, as well as looking at simulcast availability at the time. WRD is now a slot casino track and has more exposure and is available on YouBet and TWin Spires. We'll get it in there eventually - thanks Stu.

You can still use the Robot to test WRD by isolating it in a seperate folder by itself and running the ALL tracks option.
