Another important feature for me is that it can export data to csv files. I use this feature so that I can easily import the data into my own software.
So my question is this: is there anything like this that covers racing in the US? And if not, what's the nearest thing to it... as a last resort I do have the ability to scrape data from websites but that's tricky and time consuming.

There is nothing like that available here that comes with that kind of data, nothing even close. You have to pay for old data same as new. It is possible to work out deals with some of the providers to buy in bulk, but it isn't cheap.
