Go to the site 'http://formguide.cyberhorse.com.au/index.php/Form/view-form.html' and the current day's race-form stares right at you.
The crudest and simplest way is click on "form" this brings up the first race, select the race text, or conversely "select all" (you don't get much rubbish, just some extra lines) and paste it into your notepad.
Then you have to do some parsing to make it into an Excel or database file. Most of us written our own parsing routine, to do it by hand is out of the question for this amount of data.
I don't know what it looks like imported straight into Excel? You can always try I suppose.
Shaun is a dab hand at Excel, he may help you if you ask nicely.
Good luck
