Flat, Jump or NH (National Hunt) Horse Races

[ADDA]

Hi All,

I am looking for a way in the betting assistant and excel interface to determine if a horse race is a flat race or a jump (NH) race.

I have noticed that certain races display a normal looking race name such as
Plump 9th May - 16:10 3m1f Hcap Hrd - which has a race time of 6 minutes
when I correspond this to the following website which contains standard race times: http://www.racingpost.com/horses/course_list.sd
and look up the race time for Plumpton, i see that the race times available and that match the time above are for Jump races.

The concerning issue is that for some courses such as Lingfield (Ling), they offer both flat and jump race times. Is there anyway to tell these different races apart?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Adda,

I fairly certain that the Betfair coding convention is

Hrd = hurdle
Chs = chase
blank or NHF = flat

I'm not sure how the standard times on the RP site differentiate between hurdle and chase times though?
