After the discussion within the last couple pages of the lay the outsiders thread I'm pretty keen to try adjusting the Neural Settings (i.e. 0,1,2,3,4,5) based on impact values. This may be in relation to race prizemoney, distance, venue, day, state and conditions (Basically the detals in relation to the race and not the horses themselves).

However my issue is that my record keeping is similar to that of a caveman as I only have good knowledge of excel, which unfortunately (to my knowledge) isn't so useful as a database tool when your trying to record a number of variables for say a 12 horse field.

So two things
a) Does anyone have a database of the R&S Neural's recorded (preferably on setting 5) along with the other race details as mentioned above
b) Does anyone profficient in setting up a database to record such things wish to give me a hand in getting started?

I don't mind doing all the data mining as I actually enjoy messing around with numbers, hence why I continue to build and adapt on my own ratings method. Any outcomes of interest that I find i'm obviously happy to share with whoever can provide some help or possibly the forums as a whole depending on how useful the outcomes are.

If I can't find anyone interested i'll have to try go it alone, cheers.
