3yo Hcap Races UK

[andy28]

In UK horse racing I notice that a Hcap race can be for any age group, I try to avoid 3yo races but cant seem to figure out how to use automation to not bet on 3yo Hcap races. Is there a way I can weed the 3yo races out?

edit: Looks like you can access this information from Guardian so it must be on API

If that's the case you'd need to scrape data from a website, check all races for "3YO" and if so save the time
SportingLife should be a good option as the racecards use the date as the URL meaning you can easily specify what days races to grab and they have suitable race descriptions for use ("3YO")

If betting with excel only place bets if event start time != <Any of the days scraped times>,
if betting with Guardian import the days markets into Guardian via BA API at start of day, omitting a market if market name contains <Any of the days scraped times>.
1. Get markets from API
2. Filter them (check mkt name vs scraped list, delete that market if match found)
3. Populate guardian with retained markets (non-3yo races)
Check Bet Angel API guide + test page for importing markets into Guardian.
You would then double click your script file e.g. from desktop instead of adding the markets to Guardian using Guardian itself

If you don't mind waiting until next week, I'll have a go for you.

Thanks for that, but don't bother doing anything for me as I am clueless with that stuff, I have the age for the favourite in Guardian and I can manually go thru them if the fav is a 3yo.

But thank you very much for the offer

Bet Angel can pick up the age of a horse using automation. So you can automation selections, or turn them into a list which you can sort to exclude the 3yo's
