Thanks Linus

How accurate do you guys think the data is?

The reason I ask is that there are items of data that appear wrong - like the horses with a PPWAP of 1, or the horses with one or two figure BSPs whose INPLAY MIN figure is 1000 (OK, it's possible that the horse went straight to 1000 as it refused to leave the stalls, but it's still odd).

Are these rare anomalies that can be safely disregarded when you're analysing many thousands of entries, or do they hint at a bigger problem?

However, the BSP figures seem to be accurate, judging by their efficiency

A few have asked for this now:

Contains 2009-2016 in one csv.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zp3a9r5vlg9eh ... v.zip?dl=0

Contains 2009-2016 in separate csv's.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ls8d5sdih5hkx ... R.zip?dl=0

Both 46.2mb but excel will struggle with the top one.

COUNT(*): 962425
MAX(EVENT_DT): 2016-12-30 16:20:00.0
MIN(EVENT_DT): 2008-12-31 12:00:00.0

With a few if statements you can easily backtest, although I recommend chucking the data in a database, I plan on doing a short tutorial on how to do this soon.

The link doesn't exist anymore, is it somewhere else or deleted?
