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
