Feature: Race Entries

[Shanthi]

(Kinda. This will be a semi-long work-in-progress because there are so many dependencies on race entering. Shipping, locations, budgets, racing preferences, etc.)

For now…you can view the race schedule in the new app. And, on a computer, you can sort by any column(s) you wish. (You can’t pick what columns to sort by default yet, but I will add that soon. And you can’t explicitly say “sort by Location, then by Purse”, but if you sort one on one column and then click to sort on another column, it respects your first sort choice as well. So in this case you’d click to sort on Track, then on Purse, and it would be sorted in ascending order by track name, then by purse.)

For people on mobile: I’ve tried to optimise what gets displayed so it fits better on the screen, but it’s still a bit meh. I’m not sure what data I can exclude, except maybe purse? Or maybe I can put stuff into tooltips so the table fits onto smaller screens better, but I know tooltips can get wonky on a phone.

If anyone has suggestions, I’m all ears.

Also FYI the column sorting doesn’t appear to work on my phone, but I haven’t figured out why. I’ll keep investigating though.

• Sorting is fixed. Right now it just sorts by race number as the default, but I’ll add a setting to allow it to sort by other things later.
• Entering is not working yet, but entries now show up in the new app (they sync once an hour, so may be delayed)

The main list shows the current number of entries next to the “+” button, which is what you click to be able to see your horses eligible for entry.

If you’re entering a jump race, the sorting of horses will always show the jumpers on top (they do not have the yellow triangle icon)

The yellow triangle icon shows that this horse has not officially swapped to jumping when you hover over it.

You can also hover over your “Note for Next Race” (see race options thread for more info) and see what you wrote there.

Note that the horse list:

• only cares about your setting for “days since last race” (the other settings are not yet plugged in)
• also respects your setting for “minimum energy for racing” if you have that set
• does not care if your horse can make it to the track in time for the race yet
• does not care if you can’t afford the race entry + shipping fee yet

However, the breakdown of type (Maiden, NW1, etc) should be accurate.

So have a play with it, try it side-by-side with the regular race entry form, and give a shout if any of the data looks super wrong.
