Sire Lists

 

The pedigree information in the Race History can be seen in color AND have values assigned to each horse, by adding horse names to the various pre-defined sire files

 

There are two sets of steps in this process: initialize AND populate

Initialize – only perform one time

1.  Start Expert – 2020 release and beyond, as it was not available in prior releases

2.  Exit Expert – this creates the empty pre-defined sire files (as text files, in .txt format)

 

The files are created in the Sires folder, inside of the H$V8 folder (on your C drive)

Names - Meanings

·   S1st – first-time starters

·   S1stdam – first-time starters, for damsires ONLY

·   S2dirt – 2 year olds, dirt ONLY

·   S2yo – 2 year olds, ALL types

·   S3dirt – 3 year olds, dirt ONLY

·   S3yo – 3 year olds, ALL types

·   Sallwthr – all weather

·   Sdamsire – damsires ONLY

·   Sdirt – dirt ONLY

·   Smud – wet DIRT conditions ONLY

·   Sturf – turf ONLY

·   Sturfwet – wet TURF conditions ONLY

 

 

Populate – perform as often as you desire

1.  Go to the Sires folder and open a file

2.  Populate the file with the EXACT horse names (you develop these, not me)

3.  Optionally, you can add a level (where 3 = superior, 2 = excellent, 1 = solid)

4.  Save the file

Once you have completed these steps, the pedigree information for your Race History will look something like this…

… AND it will appear in the Summary Rankings section, at the end of the Race History
