Hello,
I am interested in purchasing the historic database and subscription but I wanted to check something first.
Does the data for each race reflect the final state of the race just before it starts off? For example, does it cope if a horse is removed from the race or if there is a jockey change?
I have been collecting horse racing data from the Betfair API-NG for the past two months but I have only just learned that the metadata for each runner in the race does not dynmically update from when it is initially published. This means I can not tell when a Jockey has been changed.
For example Betfair API states that the Jockey for the 2.55pm at York on 17th May 2017 was W. Buick when it was actually run by L. Dettori... very annoying. What does this database say?
Also, does the historic race data include teh Actual SP rather than just the forecasted one?
Thanks
Raymond
