Hey, do you know if there is a way to get more results from the Racing Australia site than just the last 30 days?

I like the format and want to use the information in place of current form i use, would be great for back testing some ratings if i could get some more info.

Hi Shaun.

Unfortunately not, I also wanted to experiment with,
The results page & get the site scraped after speaking,
With the person who deals with this at R.I.S.A. he said keeping large,
Amounts of data longer than 30 days created problems when,
They tried to update at the end of each month something about,
Some data didn't load or just changed for no reason when attempted.

Before they upgraded their site I'm sure the results were there,
For a lot longer possibly 3-6 months but not now unfortunately.

So much for progress (L.O.L.)

All you can do is start from 30 days back & forward test I guess,
Not much help I know.

Cheers.

Thanks, still may be useful as it has prices and such, right now if i wanted to see how ratings went on yesterdays races, i can't, plus i am sick of the unitab site, is a joke for scraping, the Tabcorp mobile site is far better, i am thinking i some major overhaul.

Yesterdays results are there in fact most days,
You can go to the respective meetings on each day click on results state
Meeting & the results format will appear about 45 minutes,
After correct weight in each race.

For example all the Donald races are there plus the first 4 races at tonight's Cranbourne meeting.
