In the UK I subscribe to a system called
proform. This is software you install on your PC. It comes packaged with 17(!) years worth of detailed past performance data for all races in the UK and Ireland. Each day you can click on an update button and it will keep its database up to date. Another important feature for me is that it can export data to csv files. I use this feature so that I can easily import the data into my own software.
So my question is this: is there anything like this that covers racing in the US? And if not, what's the nearest thing to it... as a last resort I do have the ability to scrape data from websites but that's tricky and time consuming.
Thanks,
