Horse Names

[thebigik83]

Hi,

This is probably been answered before - have searched and can't find it.

Is there anyway to extract all the horse names before the days racing? Missing automated bets because of apostrophes etc and its time consuming to manually go through betfair!

Thanks

I think there's a file on the forum somewhere that downloaded the days races and runners to match up with the racing post data.

Maybe try searching for that or other options would be to add code to your match up searches to strip out apostrophes before matching. There's also a fuzzy logic add in for excel. Guess alot depends on why you're getting mismatches as to how you approach the problem.
