Differentiating between Horses and hounds...?

[rbb1986]

Feel like this is a super basic question, despite having spent years working on guardian automation I can't solve this.

I just want to differentiate between Horse Racing markets and Greyhounds. Mainly for the purpose of grouping in guardian market overview, but also for other automation purposes.

I've exhausted trying the 'Stored value as text' options. 'Competition' never returns a value (presumably thats what betfair is feeding into BA). But none of the other options can clearly enable SV set up for Sport type that I can see.

I had tried 'If stall draw greater than 0 then SV as text 'Horse Racing'. Thinking Greyhounds wouldn't have stall draw numbers, but some do.

I have used 'Distance' as the condition also - but there are too many crossovers. *See attached - this is my previous attempt*

I've looked into if there's a difference in the Market ID's that I could manipulate using SV's as text if ID contains...etc but again I can't find anything there.

Am I missing a glaringly obvious way to set this up? I just want a stored value, that displays text based on whether the event is a Horse Race or a Greyhound race...

Help!?

Use jockey in SV as text. Will be blank for a greyhound race.

Aha - superb.
I did consider Jockey but I wasn't sure if the smaller Aussie and US markets would have Jockeys assigned all the time. Have given it a try for the next 2 days of markets and seems to cover every race so that's great thank you.

I've then combined Jockey with Jockey Claim - used condition 'if Jockey Claim = Jockey name' then assign SV Text for Sport - 'Greyhound'
and 'if Jockey Claim >= 0 then assign SV Text for Sport - 'Horse'.
