They do when available, you have to realise this is mostly-only available for met. races.
Look, the data is the same from all providers, the difference is in the delivery format and additional "massaging" of the data.
Some do it in a comma delimited text file, some like Cyber in a zip file that after unzipping opens in a HTM page, (that is why you need to turn it into a text file or some other to import into a database) not hard at all if you know any programming at all.
Actually you can get these ZIP files in a more cumbersome way, free from Cyber. Many on this forum do.
For historical files, I think you may have to pay extra but is available.
I'm in no way connected and recommend or sell nothing!!!
