Harness data question.

I've played Tbreds for a while but have recently played harness for the first time. Played the Red Mile and Meadowlands using trackmaster and harness eye pdf pps. I am familiar with DRF and Brisnet data files. I did a brief search and couldn't find anything on the web for harness data files. Does anyone sell harness data files? Thanks.

Is Trackmaster the only game in town for data files? Does anyone other than Trackmaster or harness eye produce speed figures? Thanks.

As far as I know Trackmaster is the only game in town for harness racing data files.

If you discover another source I'd love to hear about it.

TY for the reply. If I find another source will post here. I wish Harness Eye would start selling .csv files. I asked and they said no.

TY for the reply. That's too bad I really like comparing different sets of speed figures. Is there enough demand out there in the harness market for another set of figures in an exe file?

GL2U,
From a marketing stand-point (and profitability for time spent), there's not much of a demand anything in harness racing (especially in 2020).

Twenty years ago, the Trackmaster exe files were limited to 256 fields in the database (sure it's changed by now), however generally to add more fields it's inevitable that other fields be shortened or eliminated.
