I downloaded the Nov 1 Breeder's Cup files out of Formulator.

A few questions came up immediately.

1. I can download all the Formulator data for that card as one file or multiple files. If I download it as one file, I will have multiple record types of different lengths that contain different fields and data. So I can't see how I can import that single file into a single database without causing a total mess. It seems like I will have to download the Formulator data as separate files and import them into separate databases. Does that seem correct?

2. The major file is a horse file. It contains a header record that describes what each field contains and then hundreds of data records. is there any way of importing that header record and making those my field names so I don't have to manually type all those field names in myself?

Other than that, the import of that single file took a few seconds.
