At The Races

[Islanderpei]

I do visit this site regulary, and find it very usefull,but there has been a little thing that has been bugging me for along time.
In the end i had to Email them and state that Woodbine is in Canada and not in the USA, ( even though Cyc thought it was in Texas), and why could they not put a Canadian Flag by Woodbines cards instead of a USA starspangled banner.
I stated that the Sporting Life does put the Canadian Flag before Woodbine Cards.
So now i wait for the reply of why they don't or why they won't put a Canadian flag next to Woodbine.
If fellow Not 606ers feel that the correct flag should be put before Woodbine please Email ATR and let them know.
Thanks Islanderpei

You will be lucky to get a reply. I emailed them a while back to inform them there was a design fault in their form system in that their horse data base was obviously indexed by horse name rather than a horse reference. As a result, the form record for a top 2yo showed that it had been hurdling for several years. Didn't even get an acknowledgement.

On the other hand I emailed the RP on Thursday to see if they could provide a facility to download their Results Index between 2 dates, and they replied on Friday apologising for not having the facility but gave me a direct link to Raceform, suggesting they may be able to help.

I beg to differ Islander, I thought Woodbine was in Iowa.

That's pretty poor really.

Obviously commentators will make mistakes when they're doing live stuff but the one thing that really, really irks me about ATR is when they refer to a filly as a he. It shouldn't be difficult to get that right.
