My handicapping keeps my head above water but the time I spend in identifying potential races and subsequent plays is very time consuming.



The races I find most consistent are five (5) to seven (7) furlong sprints for three (3) year olds and up on dirt or artificial surface no turf, maidens or two (2) year olds. I’d be happy to share my selection method within those races in exchange for help in identifying their location (track & race #) as easily and quickly as possible.



The proper question is:



Is there a reporting method, mechanism or service that can identify upcoming races by type, distance and surface on a daily basis?

TimeformUS has a feature to filter out the races you prefer.

Thank you but, unless I missed something, TimeformUS appears to be selling full services and as I need to look at 20 to 40 tracks per day to get only raw past performance data for my 2 to 6 daily plays it wouldn't be cost justified.

Seems like an interesting site though ..... thanks again.

Timeform costs only about $6/day for PPs for all tracks.

I use FullCardReports to find the type of races that I like to bet.

Here are all of tomorrow's races (07/04) that fit the criteria of the races that you like.
It took me about 20 minutes to find and jot them down.
I hope that I didn't make any mistakes.

Sam ..need to know more info..

Commercial software can make things a lot easier...but at a cost...
Its not $180 /month like Timeform but an initial investment is necessary..

here is something i got from Jcapper....its only partial because I had to edit out my personal stuff...

But it took me less than 10 minutes on this busy day at the races...

and you can get all the info you need , the above poster missed a few races...

To the best of my knowledge there is not any site which provides data about today's races by racing distance. That is NOT to say the distance of each race is not included in the various lists, it just is not ordered/sorted by distance as the primary criteria.

Here's a quick and dirty to get such data. (1) Go to the BRIS "In Today" page and, in some manner, save the data; (2) import the data into a spreadsheet; (3) use the spreadsheet to sort/filter the data so you end up with a list of races by distance, i.e. sort the columns so distance is the primary sort column then also include track abbreviation so it is also in alphabetical order followed by a filter action to only show dirt tracks and the classification of the races desired.

Using BRIS' "In Today" and including all tracks will produce a long list of all runners for all available tracks for the date initially selected. Once you have such a list and then get it into some application which can manipulate it, you can then filter/sort/hide the data in order to see a list of races for any and all tracks that have races at 6 furlongs or any other distance you'd like.

Getting the data off of the web page is the trick. All browsers allow you to save a web page as a file on your device. But translating or gleaning the desired data is the hard part. The data of interest is kept in an series of HTML tables. It's just a matter of how you can get to it. Perhaps the import wizard in Excel can handle it -- I'm not an Excel guru, so, I say perhaps.

Another approach would be to write an app to parse the HTML data then create a CSV file which can easily be imported into any spreadsheet app. Again, you use the spreadsheet app to sort and filter the data in order to see where there are races at 6 furlongs -- what tracks and which race number. And even how many runners are in each race.

Just an idea Sam....

In the Software portion of PA, there is a thread called Quickhorse
Maybe this can perform what you need at a very very reasonable price.
I don't use or know its capabilities...its just a thought

DJofSD,

Thanks ... this (BRIS/In Today) copy and sort works very well and saves a considerable amount of time.

Thank you everyone for your help. If I can return favor just ask.

You can use this to find the races you want. There are filters that make it easy enough.
