Various news from HTR / Contest results

[Ken Massa]

Our regular server has been restored and the HTR download site is back to normal. Not all the archived (past files and results) data is ready, but it should be up by Monday. Thank you to all subscribers for their patience and help during our little crisis.

I just returned from Los Alamitos after a day playing CA tracks. Weather very hot here for January and early speed held very well at all distances and surf at both tracks.

I see from the tournament posts that some contestants were pretty sharp with their day1 picks at SA and GG. The $45, r8 #4 early speed play at GG was tagged by MT Ken and TommyC (twice). Nice score by Glen at SA in r7 # 6 with the $23 winner, a Fr1 horse. Races still going on at night tracks, and I didn't check results from other venues, please chime in here with any contest highlights or lowlights you wish to share. Rick should have some info for us after tomorrow night, as he is storing all the contest data in Access. Several people did not play a single horse on Saturday, guess they are loading for 20 shots on Sunday!

If anyone emailed me on Saturday and did not get a reply, please re-send. Some of my email was lost today and unrecoverable.

I just updated the Contest results at:

Be sure to post enough selections and alternates tomorrow to make sure you get your 20 picks for the weekend.

Rick...do you know if HDW is going to post all files for the last month. Right now it is only the last week?

[Rick]

According to what KM has posted, HDW is working to restore the old messages and should have them up by tomorrow.

Hopefully, or shortly there after.

Doing backups can be a pain in the rear and seem like a waste of time, but when something like this happens you can see the worth.

It is very nice to have things almost back to normal.

I noticed the results show 20 picks for my totals. Just to clarify, I had 19 picks for saturday and one that was put in early for sunday. Does that sound right?

Just checkin, Alan

[Rick]

I just checked and I have you for a total of 20 picks right now.

What happened was you submitted your selection for today last night and I put it in last night.
