In my function "populateRaceData", I needed to add the following line of code after the for loop that adds the data to the grid to tigger a reload.   I don't know why, but that fixed it. 

    grid.setGridParam({ rowNum: 10 }).trigger("reloadGrid");

When I click a loaded row, it returns an "undefined" id.   The code in my function then returns the row values in the first row.

Below is my code which is similar to code I have used successfully in the past.   Does anyone know if there is a problem/bug or can a second set of eyes see a problem in my code?

Thank you for your help.
