Hi Tailwag!
The fact that you are communicating here with us proves that there is no need for you and a programmer to be in the same town, hey! not even on the same continent, (would help though if in the same universe, unlike some).
As a matter of fact we do prefer written instruction.
Saying that, I am not offering my services either, just too busy.
As to programmers not understanding horseracing, that is just utter crap.
Where I work we write programmes for many different clients, requiering solutions to problems I did not even knew existed and we do not know a thing about their business. Computers work with data
not opinions (although if you include let's say, a memo field in the horses record, I can get the info out and add an agreed numerical value to your opinion), so, as long there is data we can use it and write programmes.
Hope your first selection wins 52.78% of the time.
Cheers
