There is a facility in BA to show the current progress of a horse race. This info is displayed as a progress bar and can include a percentage.
This is controlled via the Race Meter tab setting.
As far as I know there isn't a way to use this information in Guardian Automation.
I have set up a BAF that will estimate the % completed of a race and store this value in a Market SV called SB_RaceCompleted
The value stored is based on readings I have taken from various types of races , flat, hurdles, UK(I), US and AUS races. You can show this value in your Guardian/Bet Angel grids and you can use it in conditions of your own automations. For example only place bets in the first quarter of the race
Please bear in mind the value you get with this is an approximation (as is the Bet Angel Race Meter) but its pretty good most of the time - plus there's nothing to stop you amending my figures in the BAF and honing it a bit more. The percentage values stops when the inplay race ends - so sometimes it can be before 100% and other times it can stop after 100% - this happens when Betfair leave a race inplay accidently.
How to use it?
Once you have added the BAF to your automation folder, you can select it as a Rules file name in Guardian and Apply the file to Rules 2/3/4 etc (alongside your existing automation rule file). You can then show the value in Guardian using List, Edit Custom Columns, Choose columns for display in the Market List. See https://www.betangel.com/user-guide/gua ... lumns.html
Bonus
I plan to add stuff to this BAF for handy horse racing info. One you may find useful is SB_InplayVol this is a Selection Shared Value that is a measure of the volume for each selection since the race started.
Horse Race Meter as SV
I'm not sure if it will help you or not but in the second post of this example there is a 'Standard times' worksheet containing the average finishing times for every distance at every course

The one BA uses for it's race progress meter is very similar to this
Keep up the good work

maybe the percentage remaining could be added as a property in the same way as the Text based filters work.. then you'd align your SB_RaceCompleted with that *filter* value and carry on as normal..
@Dallas - possible??
The race meter is designed to work the other way really.
We have used standard times for each course and distance which are 'baked in' to the software. But you can also use TPD data to get incredibly accurate timings.
With TPD you can export the % quite easily as you can do an elapsed/distance calculation.
For the other courses, you may want to import your own standard times if you wish to refine them much further. It's then a inplay_time/standard time calculation.
