Turf Pedigree Rating?

Hello,

I got beat by a 28-1 horse who had never been on the turf before. I know that there is a PED Rating in JCapper, but I think it's based on Distance. Is there a Turf PED Rating somewhere I can grab? Thanks.

These are the pedigree rating fields in the .JCP file:


    '````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
    'PEDIGREE
    '````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
    '1264      HDW  Dirt Pedigree Rating     CHARACTER XXXX       4
    '1265      HDW  Mud Pedigree Rating      CHARACTER XXXX       4
    '1266      HDW  Turf Pedigree Rating     CHARACTER XXXX       4
    '1267      HDW  Dist Pedigree Rating     CHARACTER XXXX       4
    '````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

In JCapper Platinum Build 198: All of them can be used in a UserFactor with a 3 Translate behavior.

These are the factor handles:


    ------------------------   -------------
    Description                Factor Handle
    ------------------------   -------------
    HDW Dirt Pedigree Rating   PED_DIRT
    ------------------------   -------------
    HDW Mud Pedigree Rating    PED_WET
    ------------------------   -------------
    HDW Turf Pedigree Rating   PED_TURF
    ------------------------   -------------
    HDW Dist Pedigree Rating   PEDIGREE
    ------------------------   -------------

Screenshot:

Note that in the above screenshot:

I have keyed in "PED_TURF" (without the quotes) as the factor handle.

I am using 3 Translate as the Behavior.

I am using USERFACTOR2 as my GroupName -- meaning that after I hit the Save button USERFACTOR2 ends up being a direct translation of HDW Turf Pedigree Rating as read from field #1266 in the .JCP file.

Keep in mind that creating a new UserFactor doesn't change the existing data sitting in previously build databases.

After creating a UserFactor like the one in the above screenshot for HDW Turf Pedigree Rating:

Test it by running a Calc Races to make sure that it works. If you used UserFactor2 and if you are seeing numbers in the columns for UserFactor2 in your StartersToday table chances are that you have it working. (On the other hand if you are seeing 0's in the UserFactor2 columns of your StartersToday table then you have some corrections to make.)

After you verify that your new UserFactor is working -- then consider building some database(s) from scratch.

Remember, you have to build database(s) from scratch before you can analyze HDW Turf Pedigree Rating in the Data Window.

That's it!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks again for a quick, insightful, and detailed response. I forgot to mention that I use BRIS data still. Looks like yet another reason to finally make the switch!
