Anyone know of a website that has a downloadable version of the racecards? or at least one that can be imported into excel easily?
All I'm wanting to capture from it is the details of the race itself rather than the runners, so... grade/class etc
Todays Racecards
Not sure what you mean UK /Irish from a specific site (Racingpost/Sportinglife etc...)
you mean something like this maybe ?

Yeah, that's pretty much what i'm trying to achieve. At the moment I have to input most of it manually. I've tried scraping a couple of websites using power query but navigating all the tables and fields seems impossible, and pasting the pages into excel is a pain as the race details are usually contained in a single text string so is a nighmare to extract what's needed.Eyesnack wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 1:52 pmNot sure what you mean UK /Irish from a specific site (Racingpost/Sportinglife etc...)
