Here are the steps I'm following to do a Multinomial Linear Regression.
> z<-read.table("2008 Racedata.txt", header=TRUE, sep="\t", row.names=NULL)
> head(z)

What step am I missing here? Why the duplicates in row.names?
Thanks, Walt

Two problems.
You seem to have some problem with encoding since we are seeing lots of umlauts and accent marks in that error message. Furthernore I am wondering if that datekey column got converted into a factor class?
In this case it it referring to an error in construction of the row.names attribute of the new object, x. If you do:
with( z, table( datekey, horseno) )
... you may see an a horse with multiple entries on the same day.
Actually there were no duplicate datekey x horseno combos. Changing to factor for horseno and datekey and then switching the "long" argument to "wide" produces error free result with this result:
z$datekey <- as.character(z$datekey)
z$horseno <- as.character(z$horseno)
x<-mlogit.data(z,choice="winner",shape="wide",id.var="datekey",alt.var="horseno")
str(x)
