View Full Version : Scratch files anybody?

Anybody have a good source for scratches that can be uploaded into software? I built my own handicapping software that uses BRIS data files and their "Today's Changes" files from their old site that I would save as text files. However, yesterday the Today's Changes files were very late to hit the scene, and today they appear to not be interested in publishing them at all. I assume they'll just kill them completely since they didn't make it to the new site. I knew this was coming.

Anyway, I need a replacement. Any ideas? Everything I've been able to dig up so far has way more information than I need presented in a format that does not make a clean and reliably formatted uploadable file. Actually, I found one that could possibly work yesterday, but I can't find it again, and my browser history is mysteriously missing it:mad:

Thanks for any help.

Equibase has a feed available...

... look toward the bottom. Just make sure you have logic for un-scratching horses in the event of human error.

Thanks, I never even noticed that. I don't know how to use the feed, but if I have to I guess I'll figure it out.

BRIS did finally get their files up on their site after racing for the day was pretty much finished :bang:. Probably saved me some money and cost them a little.
