A.P. Indy a Chef?

Postby merse » Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:49 pm

I read on another forum that A.P.Indy has been named a Chef-de-Race yet I don't see it reflected on the PedigreeQuery calculations. Any idea when this will be updated?

I posted this almost 2 weeks ago. Its like nobody cared or no one knows what a chef-de-race means???? Hopefully the powers to be will install A P Indy in the pedigree query to reflect the DI and CD.

Pleading ignorance here... Is this something that Miles has to do, or something that someone on the pedigree side can do? Lucy? Do you know?

By the way, CONGRATS to A.P. Indy! He deserves it! :wink:

Researchers don't have that function, I'm afraid. Wish we did. :(

Well Miles needs to get off his ass and change the DI and CD of all the horses that have A P Indy in the first five generations.!!!!

When this service was free and did not cost $100 a year I said maybe we don't have a bitch but now someone is pocketing the $100 and not keeping the data up to date. Anyone that believes in dosage as a tool for use in nicking and mating will be totally ineffective when using dosage since A P Indy is not reflected in the pedigree as a chef de race. This is rendering the PG in my opinion USELESS!!!!!! :evil:

Is this a place for idle chit chat or a useful tool used by many with the help of countless volunteers that input and update the data without any renumeration other than the satisfaction of knowing they are helping many, many horse lovers pursue their dreams!!!!

I'm sorry but to me this is an outrage!!!! Please show me the err of my thinking????

I have sent an email to the two people who, to my knowledge, are the ones who can make this happen, and have stressed the importance of the update. Hopefully they will get to work on this and it will be displaying accurately in pedigrees soon.

Rogue, you of all people should be outraged that this was not updated when A P Indy was made a chef de race!!!! That was 1/8/2008. Don't you have a son of A P Indy??? Well, if you're hypo mating mares to your stallion you are not getting a true dosage profile.

Everything that has A P Indy in its pedigree is incorrect and does not reflect the true dosage figures.

AGC, if you really don't know and you really want to know, go ahead and click the link provided earlier in this thread; then explore the web site and read up on the chef de race horses.

Yes, I do have a son of A.P. Indy... thank you for remembering! :wink: And you are correct in assuming that I would really like to see A.P. Indy's new chef de race designation appear in my stallion's hypo-matings, progeny pedigrees, etc. I have also emailed a third person who might be able to get this taken care of. I'm relatively confident that among the three people I contacted about this, one of them will be able to get this taken care of pretty quickly. *Fingers Crossed

Actually, it's just a single script code that changes everything at once.

Until and unless Miles decides to appoint people to maintain the database, put a hold on all additions/deletions and information changes until they can be checked for accuracy and require people to login before making any changes so that malicious tampering can be curbed -- the database will ALWAYS be useless for anything but the most basic of research because anyone can add/delete or change anything at any time and there's no one policing anything.

And if Miles thinks someone's going to all that for free, he's nuts.

Based on some of the posters/conversations of late?

I used to be one of those... then I started watching the 100 or so horses I updated every weekend being totally fucked up by Wednesday because there are no checks/balances in place to safe-guard the integrity of the data that y'all are paying for... so why bother?

Hi Larry,
Just wanted to note, if you want to update certain of your own pedigree interests you need only update through the first 4, not 5 generations. You can easily make the adjustments prior to the data base being updated. You can also download a dosage tool from Del Mar to do it quick and easy:>) TJ
