I keep a database of past performances containing most of the stuff that one would find in the Daily Racing Form. I have been using the Equibase Full Charts with a program of my own devising to transcribe them into a format that my database will accept, but it is a little slow and sometimes prone to error. I see that BRIS offer a comma delimited Import Charts file, but at $1/file this can get pricey if one is downloading 20-30 tracks per day. Does anyone know if there is another source for comma or tab delimited results that would contain all the data that would appear on a past performance line?
