Horse racing. Only races that have a class.

[wje200]

Is there a way to set guardian to trade only horse races that have a class?
Maiden or handicap, for example, can be selected using the 'text comparison' condition on the 'market name'.
But for class races there does not seem to be a suitable keyword in the market name.

Import it in as a stored value maybe.

Yes same as you would with Mdn or Hcap. If you are using it on Aust racing make sure you get it right. For example CL2 make sure the L is a capital not Cl2

But what keyword do I use? As far as I can see not all UK races that have the word 'class', 'cls' in their 'race name'.

Here are a few examples:

Class (GB only) -- Race Name
4 ------------------------ Star Sports We Believe In Bookmaking Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
5 ------------------------ Download The Star Sports App Handicap Chase
4 ------------------------ Star Sports Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Hurdle
5 ------------------------ Starsports.Bet Handicap Chase
5 ------------------------ Star Sports Handicap Hurdle
5 ------------------------ starsportsbet.co.uk Handicap Hurdle
4 ------------------------ J.A. Wilson Contractors Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
4 ------------------------ Schloss Roxburghe Hotel Handicap Chase (For The Wilfred & Patricia Crawford Memorial Trophy)
2 ------------------------ Look Who's 65 Elliot Henderson Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)
4 ------------------------ Five Star Taxis Mares' Handicap Hurdle
5 ------------------------ UK Novices' Handicap Chase
3 ------------------------ Borders Growers & Distillers Corinthian Spirit 'Grassroots' Hunters' Chase Series Final

The only races that have had "class" in their name in UK over the last year are "Class Stks" and Clss Stks" - the later probably a BF naming error.

What do you mean by "Class"?

Maybe if I use the word 'Group' does that make more sense? Group 1 to Group 6 races.

[DanTheMan1]

Would be much easier to bring them in as a stored value and better not to class them in groups because you have Group 1-3, Listed and Class 1-6.

[DanTheMan1]

Something like this but with all the days racing.

Not an expert in how races are named but I've picked up the following in BF Market names which may help you identify (some) races using the Market Name contains condition:

AU
- Grp1
- Grp2
- Grp3
- Listed

GB
- Grd1
- Grd2
- Grd 2
- Grd3
- Grp 1
- Grp 2
- Grp 3
- Listed

IR (as UK above but with)
- Grd 3

Not sure how you would go about splitting up the Hcap races by grade though without pulling in some 3rd party data...
