"Q. Why am I publishing this Scratch BOT Only program download
package?

A. This Scratch BOT program update delivers new functionality:

1. Races reported in the XML as Off Turf at Gulfstream with new value for surface as ALL WEATHER are now (correctly) being parsed from the XML as intSurface=2.

2. Off the Turf races at Gulfstream parsed from the XML as intSurface=2 are now being (correctly) reported on the Changes Table Report as intSurface=2.

3. Temp Rail changes reported in the XML have now been added to the XML Parse routine.

4. Temp Rail changes parsed from the XML have also been added to the Changes Table Report.

5. The boxes for Temp Rail and Sealed on the Manual Race Override Tool are now active.

6. Manual Race Override changes for both Temp Rail and Sealed are now being saved to the Changes Table.

7. Manual Race Override changes for both Temp Rail and Sealed are also displayed on the Changes Table Report.

Notes:

The above new functionality is automatically toggled ON after clicking the Master ON Button and hitting Save in the Enhanced Settings Module.

If you’ve already done that – you won’t have to make any changes in the Enhanced Settings Module. (The new functionality described above should be automatic.)

If you haven’t done that – and you want to enable the above functionality – bring up the Enhanced Settings Module, click the Master ON Button, answer Yes at the confirmation prompt - and hit the Save Button.

Full functionality for both Temp Rail and Sealed will appear in an upcoming 2022 Full program update.

Because Gulfstream has been regularly running its Off Turf races on the new Tapeta surface I decided now would be a good time to publish this Scratch BOT Only program update."
