I have only implemented one update/change today...
I have swapped the Distance Winner and Course Winner columns over for all the PDFs and CSV/XLS files.
This shouldn't affect any of you unless you use the spreadsheet format files and have macros that are dependant on these cells.
I apologise to any of you who are affected by this change.
As there is a fair bit of racing tomorrow I shall not be implementing anything else today (just in case it all goes horribly wrong?) and I need to be out tomorrow morning (however, I shall test run the ratings at 4am; if they work then, they'll work at 10am.)
So, instead, I shall be doing some data analysis on the performance of horses who have won (or been placed) at a course over the same distance and going.
The logic is that just because a horse is a Going/Distance winner at Brighton doesn't mean much if it's now running at Ascot?
If I find that there is any value in this metric I shall find a way of displaying it on the PDfs and spreadsheet files.
My kindest regards
