Is there anyway to change the jockey in HTR ? If not how hard would this be to add to the program. The winner at CD race 9 paid $ 158.00. It had a jockey change from Felix 229 to Leandro Goncalves 289 which would have made him the top rank jock in the race. Had to dig but it paid.

This has been discussed a couple times Spike and it’s not an option. Its part of the original code when the file is downloaded. To manually alter the jockey would require an entire DB of the couple thousand jocks to bloat the download.
Your way of going back and digging a little is the only way presently.
BTW: Ken talked about this is an old thread and he did a little research and it was the original rider (trainer intent) that had the greatest impact regardless of late switch for what its worth.
If I know you Spike; you don’t want to bet Tony Stewart and wind up with Grandpa Munster in your Chevy! :)

The winner was also #1 in Class and had an 82 for Form Cycle and that race was F & D in the Chalk Evaluator.
