I found MY scripting problem.
The header was written as follows:

put "Post, Race, Track, City, State" into hdr
replace comma with tab in hdr
-- thus col 2-5 had a leading space which was invisible, just as the tab char is.


Correct data casting is
put "Post,Race,Track,City,State" into hdr
replace comma with tab in hdr

Discovery
Column naming is white space sensitive.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am doing a quick study of the Datagrid object and getting a confusing

For me, there is a time-deadline this week, so I need to figure this out
quickly.

Defining a datagrid group, five columns, then running the following stack
script
--   Rev 3.5.0   build 860
--   relaunch and open only the test stack

on testLoadDgrd   --postTimeDgrd
 get the cpGTasklist of this stack
   --using tab delimited lines
 get line 1 to 11 of IT
 set the clipboarddata to line 2 to -1 of IT
 put true into keyy
 set the dgText[keyy] of  group "postTimeDgrd" to IT
end testLoadDgrd


set the clipboarddata to line 2 to -1 of IT
put true into keyy
set the dgText[keyy] of  group "postTimeDgrd" to IT

Assuming that the first line of IT contains your headers, the error
should be here.
By using the dgText[true] property, you specify to the data grid
library that the first line of the data, contains the column header.
In this case the DG engine try to make corresponding the data with the
column names of the data grid.
However here the first line passed to the DG is:
09:34     1     FLX     Farmington     NY

One of those solutions should resolve the problem:

set the clipboarddata to line 2 to -1 of IT
put false into keyy
set the dgText[keyy] of  group "postTimeDgrd" to IT

For using this second solution, the columns of your DG must be named with
Post      Race      Track      City      State
respectively

set the clipboarddata to line 1 to -1 of IT
put true into keyy
set the dgText[keyy] of  group "postTimeDgrd" to IT
