As a new member is it possible to download a small free sample of the database

Question

I'm considering subscribing to database access for horseracing data and current card data. I wish to try before I buy. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Hi - we provide the whole databse rather than free samples, however if you are familiar with using MySQL (or connecting to a MySQL database) then the database is as any other MySQL database.  The initial subscription gives you all 22 years' horseracing data (form and results) for UK and Ireland plus daily updates for one month, with an automated updates program for results and upcoming racecards form and history.

To see what data is available in the database and the database schemas available, please see the following:

The reason for asking for a sample (as I was also searching for one); The database fields do give some insight to the content of the database, and I can't imagine betwise slacking in the quality of the data provided, however, it is just due diligence to to want to qualify the quality of the data. Simply grab a random race, change the names, change the times.. and there, you have a sample. Nobody is after "free" stuff (anymore than usual right;)...
