"The 10-01-2021 HDW File Mgr ONLY program update:

After installing this download:
You should find that the HDW File Mgr delivered by this download handles races and workouts on Gulfstream Park’s new Tapeta Course as surface code “d” (without the quotes.)

Background Info
Over the past several weeks Gulfstream Park replaced the outer part of their Turf Course with a new Tapeta Course.

A few days ago Gulfstream began allowing horses to train on the new Tapeta Course. I’ve been told that within the next week to ten days Gulfstream Park plans to card their first race on the new Tapeta Course.

I decided to use surface code “d” (without the quotes) because the new Tapeta Course is located inside of Gulfstream’s Outer Main Dirt Course.

Going forward, Gulfstream Park will have three courses. They will be reported in JCapper as follows:

1. An Outer Main Dirt Course – surface code “D” (without the quotes) in PlayList File Mode – and IntSurface=1 in SQL Mode.

2. An Inner Tapeta Course - surface code “d” (without the quotes) in PlayList File Mode – and IntSurface=2 in SQL Mode.

3. A Turf Course - surface code “T” (without the quotes) in PlayList File Mode – and IntSurface=4 in SQL Mode.

Note that races taken Off the Turf and run on the new Tapeta Course will be reported as surface code “d” (without the quotes) in PlayList File Mode – and IntSurface=2 in SQL Mode.

Note that races taken Off the Turf and run on the Outer Main Dirt Course will continue to be reported as surface code “O” (without the quotes) in PlayList File Mode – and IntSurface=3 in SQL Mode.


Install Instructions:

1. Close down all open JCapper program windows, log into the JCapper message board and navigate to the Build 198 program downloads page.



2. Save the HDW File Mgr Only Special Download Package (published 10-01-2021) - filename: HDWFileMgrOnly_10012021.exe to your hard drive. (Hint: c:\JCapperBuild is a good location to save it.)



3. Double click the download package file - filename: HDWFileMgrOnly_10012021.exe - to run the extractor.

The extractor will copy the .exe file for the HDW File Mgr (and only the HDW File Mgr) to your c:\JCapper\Exe folder, overwriting the existing .exe file for the HDW File Mgr - and then on most machines, will launch the HDW File Mgr.

That’s It!

There’s nothing else to install – and no import routines to run.

Enjoy,
