Jockey changes...HTR alerts and TLC

[hurrikane]

I know..you folks are getting tired of me picking all the time......

PIM
7th race...7 horse

HTR alerts says 'switching to a hot rider'
TLC shows no jockey change..

it's not a big deal as I didn't really like the tj together but curious it they are pulling the same jockey data and if there is a different calc for the alerts in HTR.

Iknow tlc is a custom and doesnt' get support but I'm just curious how HTR makes these alerts?

In HTR under the Longshots/Alerts screen:

Switches to a HOT Jockey: Changes to a jock that is winning more than 20% of starts (1yr)

In TLC:

Jky rank (s) = rider switch to high-percentage jock.

That's all I could find for now. If you need more Ken said he would be back from Vegas next Tue.

Hurricane,
I'm glad you posted this, because I was going to ask about a similar HTR alert message "switch to hot jockey", when so far as I could tell, that didn't represent a switch. My example is at Saratoga, 15 Aug, 3rd race, #4 Imaginarium. Velazquez up, but he also rode in the previous race, 30 July 4th race.

could it be that their win % went above the 20% mark since their last race...Hey, ya never know! Just a thought!

Donnie...I gotta ask...how do you get your name in lights like that?

pretty simple JimG---

it is an animated gif which is one of two image file types used on the internet. I "point" to it on my server and every time you access a post where I use it, it places the image in where I use my signature file. The animation is caused by 3 different colors of the same picture, this picture being name colored 3 different colors. I put one together for Tomcat, but don't know if he is using it anywhere!

Have a good day!

Donnie, I'm able to use mine for regular email, but I don't know how to use it on this discussion page.

Another example: 7th @ SAR 8/24
Bailey rides #4 Ubiquity... rode him last time, but HTR alert screen notes: Switches to a hot rider.

Ken said he would look into it.
