That's approach I was contemplating. Naturally, I already have a table with all the horses running. I could easily extract Track, Date, Race, Horse, and have 1 field empty (scratch filed). Then I could manually alter the scratch field before I run my daily reports and exclude the marked ones.
I was hoping to automate that somehow. In fact, I'm kind of shocked it's not an existing service somewhere already. The number of database handicappers isn't large, but if you are already creating PP files the service would be quick to develop and might attract people if priced low enough.
