Scratch Bot -- BAQ |
parshooter 9/14/2023 12:57:13 PM | Any suggestions for BAQ and Belmont at the Big A?
Having trouble getting scratch bot to work for this listing.

Screenshot of the Track Abreviations Table Interface with the correct entries and the xml shown in the background:
Correct entries (if you are using HDW data) to persist in the Track Abbreviations Table Interface for the AQU 2023 Fall Meet:
Track Code: AQU Tote Code: AQU Notes: BELMONT AT THE BIG A
The rules:
1. Persist the first 3 characters of the data file name to the Track Code and Tote Code fields.
2. Persist the track_name displayed in the xml to the Notes field.
That's It!

parshooter 9/18/2023 10:53:07 AM | Thank you. Have made the change.

jeff 9/21/2023 11:22:23 AM | Just a heads up...
Currently, the Equibase Racing Dates page lists 11-02-2023 as opening day for the AQU Fall Meet. Link, here.
Based on that, I expect Equibase to change the track_name in the XML back to "AQUEDUCT" (without the quotes) on or about 11-02-2023.
If and when that happens our first clue will be AQU is running a card and Scratch BOT is processing zero scratches and changes for AQU.
The same rules that I posted above still apply.
• The rules:
1. Persist the first 3 characters of the data file name to the Track Code and Tote Code fields.
2. Persist the track_name displayed in the xml to the Notes field.

I have made the change, but for whatever reason scratch bot for BAQ or AQU still does not work.

jeff 9/25/2023 11:13:19 PM | Just now seeing your post (Mon 09-25-2023 about 9:00 pm pacific time.)
Shoot me a copy of your c:\2004\JCapper.mdb file.
Attach it to an email or use the free area of the https://WeTransfer.com site to send it to me.
I'll have a look at the settings for AQU in your TrackAbbreviations table, make the needed correction, and email the file back to you.

jeff 9/27/2023 8:22:52 AM | JCapper.mdb file received in good order. Looked inside. The track_name persisted in the Notes field of the TrackAbbreviations table is incorrect: "BELMONT AT BIG A" (without the quotes.)
The correct track_name that needs to be persisted in the Notes field of the TrackAbbreviations table is: "BELMONT AT THE BIG A" (without the quotes.)

jeff 11/2/2023 12:47:57 PM | Aaaaand now that Belmont's original dates have been completed... effective Thursday 11-02-2023:
Equibase has changed the track_name in the xml from "BELMONT AT THE BIG A" (without the quotes) to "AQUEDUCT" (without the quotes.)
screenshot:
The correct entry in Scratch BOT's Track Abbreviations Table Interface for AQU is:
Track Code: AQU Tote Code: AQU Notes Field: AQUEDUCT
