I'd advise against Allways data files from a financial standpoint. Not sure if you already have a bunch of TSN/BRIS data files or not, but if you don't mind a little "elbow grease", I'd suggest getting Infotran from here:

And Simple File Join from here:

To use Infotran, you make a Control File which specifies which field numbers to pull from the data file (so you can get class, final time of winner, track, condition, etc.) to make a new comma delimited file. If you happen to have the latest Excel, then you don't need this as it can accommodate all of the columns found in a file.
Simple File Join is used to combine a bunch of data files into one big one (a big time saver so you don't have to run Infotran for every data file).
This is the procedure I use to keep a database of QH race final times for pars.
Or fork out a few bucks and get the HorseStreet pars.
Best of luck!
