Racehorse TALK

Thanks Wily will take a look at it. I will check it out to see if  it is available for download into a file that can be easily read by computer, and that it has all the info available in the UNITAB download Form file. Off to the beach on a beautiful day up here. 

WIAV I love to get other's insights into the way they work, none of us know everything, I like the way you do it, it makes a lot of sense,
 I was trying to explain to someone the difference between heavy trackers, if you had a horse that ran 4th in a bog behind Sacred Choice/Vision and Power and Van Der Hum(just picked 3 well known wet trackers at random) against them the 4th horse(let's call him Radish) was a bone dry tracker, if it was then in a race where there were no wet trackers ie Vo Rogue, Let's Elope etc(2 well known dry trackers who may have won a maiden on a heavy track) if you go back to Radish's 4th on the wet it will tell you that in this race he is a wet tracker, it is all relative to the opposition, unfortunately I was talking to a plank and he couldn't grasp the concept

also there is a way of telling this by looking at the horses in the enclosure, it is in their conformation believe it or not!

Have now looked at the racingandsports  site and there is certainly all the information one needs, but my question is whether you are able to do a downloading of this Form data for more than just the last three runs, in a format that one could read it by a self developed  computer program, so that one's own calculations and analysis could be applied. This would be for one's own use and not for transmission to a third person/s.
 Any guidance would be appreciated, as the necessity to analyse more than just the last three runs is most important for distance races at all times, and equally for all races, during long runs of wet tracks, like we have recently experienced.

From my point of view if UNITAB would put on their list of jobs to do in the future, the provision of the last seven runs of each horse, (in the same format as their current supply of three last races); and the data is obviously available from their supplier, then a better coverage of form would be available for use by computerised punters; and lets not forget that is where the new ranks of cashed up punters will come from in future years. Worth a thought at least.

But yes " racingandsports ",  is a great site for form data.
