Nine (9) new fields for Smartform
Friday, November 15th, 2024We’ve just updated daily_runners_insights and historic_runners_insights. These tables already contain numerous utility or short cut fields that mean users can avoid lengthy queries on each runner in a race to find details on their previous performances and instead query the race runners and have all that data in a single row, for immediate analysis.
The recent updates fill out those details for a few variables that were previously missing for the previous few races, such as the course last time out, the race type and the jockey. We have jockey changes, course changes and race type changes – all themselves useful as rapid indicators for differences since the last run, but now we can be more specific. Check out the table schemas, linked above, for full details.
Stay tuned for a number of (even more) exciting additions to Smartform in the coming weeks!
