Steeplechase?

[stu]

Ken,

Any suggestions on how to filter out steeplechase races so they aren't used in robot searches?

For example June 28th, Colonial Downs Race 1 and 3.

I am assuming that anything over the hurdles is essentially apples to oranges compared to the flats.

I see the last robot dist range is 10-14f. Wouldn’t that eliminate the 18f jumps Stu at CNL?

BTW: I believe 16.5 is the minimum dist for jumps.

PHA, SAR, CNL, KD, MTH, BEL, KEE and MED are the only tracks I’m aware of who have the jumps. (Some of which only race once per year)

Dan is correct, distances over 14.0f are not processed by the Robot at all.

If there is a hurdle race between 10.0f-14.0f, just uncheck that distance range.

But better yet, just delete the Steeplechase races and then no worries. I also delete the amateur rider races, races with 3 or less horses and exhibitions (no payoffs or betting).

I checked our database - No jump races < 15f in North America for tracks we cover. Colonial has had a dozen or so 15f jump races; the rest are 16f and up.
