I am sure you all see what I am dealing with when looking at the race card. The current structure that has been used for so long and is just poor. I have been manually editing the races until a new race file is built. What you see now is this:
D divison colt 5f
D divison filly 5f
C division colt 5f
Cdivison filly 5f
B division colt 5f
B division filly 5f
A division colt 5f
A division filly 5f
Open Colt 5f
Open Filly 5F
All on same card all in succession
Repeats exactly the same for 3yo's
zero creativity
8 of the races above daily will not run and 6-7 of the same races for 3yo's will not run. So right away the evening card will have anywhere from 14-16 races cancelled from jump street. You can tell the race days that I have edited because they don't look like the above. If we had 300 members then maybe the above layout works but not now and not here. Doesn't matter if you have 80 races scheduled if only 20 fill. I'd rather have 20 races scheduled and all fill with nice fields. (5 plus)
The early racing looks exactly the same.

12k

30k
Claimers all in a row at the same distance. The redundancy every day needs to go. I will review the more popular entered races and keep these in play but this format needs to go.
I see many people entering some of the new style of races and set ups. Please tell me what you like and don't like etc and please stick to racing and race types. I need more input from you all at different levels of racing. Currently 4 cards per day. Midnight, Morning, Lunch and Evening (eastern time zone) lower class to high class by card.
