Can anybody tell me if they know of a service which provides downloadable horseracing information in a format which can be imported into, say, Excel or Access, such as Comma Separated Variable (.csv)? Obviously I would prefer the service to be free.

My selection methods (not System) are very simple, therefore the info I would like for each horse in the race is quite basic, such as career starts/win/place strike rates, dates, venues and placings of last 2 or 3 starts.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and I would be happy to share my database design with anybody that helps me.

Thanks & regards,
Big Louie

Doogle,
Thanks for your help but I'm afraid the info on RacingandSports is a bit too basic. The info is almost what I need but the missing bits that I require are the dates and venues of the last 2 starts at least. You see, I need to know how long it has been since the last run and where the last run was. If the last couple of starts were too long ago or the last venue was not a metro track, I tend to ignore the horse.

Thanks anyway, if you find out anything else would appreciate you letting me know.

Regards,
Big Louie
