Mystery scratch notifications

Post by Tammy Stawicki »

Not sure if anyone else experienced this but I was quite surprised to see two scratch notifications in my e-mail inbox this morning. More surprised to see it was due to the horse not reaching the track on time given I use autoship. But then when I liked the link for the races my horses were supposedly scratched out of said races were Tuesday Asia time and both horses ran in them. The e-mails came 12:01 AM today. Imagine some weird glitch in the system but figured I'd give a heads up. Also kind of curious if anyone else had the same thing happen.

Could you include the scratch notification? Exactly which horses and races?

I got it as well. But what is funny is my horse won the race.

I think I figured out what happened. Did you get an email but the message wasn't in your Message area? Messages in your Message area are real, but the email seems like it was bogus.

Ignore any emails that don't have corresponding messages inside the SIM.
For a short time, there was a second SIM running and I forgot that it might send emails. In that world, the horses were at the wrong location and weren't moved by you or Auto-Ship. So it scratched the horse in the second SIM and sent an email. The second SIM is not reality and doesn't matter. I disabled it so it shouldn't send any more bogus emails. Sorry for the inconvenience.
