wow, you guys look a lot more advanced at this stuff than me. this thread should be interesting.

out of interest, how do you extract the info from Ozeform? I'd have thought you would need a script/bot to do that; ie go to the site, log in, form search, type horse's name (correctly - and if more than one horse with that name in the db, select the right one), etc.

Seems like a lot of hard work to me. Ive been a regular of ozeform for a few years now, but have only used the db on and off as i find the form search tedious.

I created a very basic spreadsheet for the Sportscolour info. It converts the sectionals into a whole number for ease of reading, compares each time to a race average etc. I also have a basic one that converts raw times & 600m sectionals into Time & pace ratings (for Sydney).

I am now working on a new spreadsheet which will use the Ozeform ratings to derive a Class Rating for a race. Any help on extracting info from the site would be appreciated.
