Hi all,

is there anywhere I could find a schedule or list of the US racing meets betfair has during the year? I spoke to customer service earlier who were completely disinterested in anything other than being as unhelpful as they could. When they said they couldnt provide a schedule, I asked if details of the past year's meetings could be provided, assuming it is relatively similar to what they have every year. They couldn't. There are many tracks and meetings that aren't featured, so an overall racing calender isn't much use. I'd just like to know which tracks they have markets for throuough the year.

Many thanks

:lol: Betfair CS are pretty unhelpful when dealing with serious matters like account hacking! Your post has just made me realise the poor sod who encounters a CS agent who's just served me might be on the receiving end of my frustration. :lol:

From my past experience trading US racing, I never cared what racing was on - I just traded what was on. But my instincts tell me they have a set list of tracks that they offer markets on, which may vary from year to year. For example, if I ever saw a meeting at Penn National or Delta Downs I could just assume Betfair would cover them. There were some tracks that Betfair never offered markets for, and the odd track that they never covered except if there was a really big meeting, Del Mar springs to mind.

It might be worth compiling a list or database of the tracks they trade and mark any intermittent tracks.

Yes therir CS is not the best !

So far this year
Delta
Aqua
Sam Hou
Turf Para
Penn
CharlesT
Tampa
Parx
Have been featured regularly with 3 or 4 meetings a week.
Hawthorn and Fonner a couple of times.

I know that most tracks are seasonal, so dont operate year round, so was just looking ahead to guage how many tracks were featured.

I trade US markets using automation, so it's more what to expect with my testing, logs and record keeping really. It looks like I have plenty more to come seeing that list!

See markings above: # = partial coverage when it suits. N = no coverage anymore. D = duplicate trackname.

Dec to Mar is the quietest period. Keeneland, Woodbine, Finger Lakes, Evangeline, Mountaineer, Will Rogers all likely to appear in the coming month.
