Is there anywhere that offers an RSS feed of tomorrow's/upcoming races? I wrote a bot to take the information from drf's "Entries" page, but they've got protection against bots.

It seems like this would be a basic necessity for people using software, but I haven't seen any sign of an RSS feed like this anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it just me or does the horse racing industry seem like the only business in the world that doesn't want anyone to know what's going on?

I'm a new convert to the iPod and Podcasting. Have found podcasts for nearly every subject believable. Well, except my beloved racing...

RSS would make too much sense.

I'm BRIS oriented. They've put a few bot protection roadblocks up that have foiled some programs I wrote for myself years ago to do exactly that kind of processing.

What I'm doing now is to go to the BRIS In Today page and to save it then scrape the data out of the saved HTML page. Crude but I've got better things to do than to fight providers that are in reality just trying to protect themselves from thieves.

oh.. a space got in after the URL, this should work.
