Aust Horse Racing Results feed

[mcchops]

Hi,

I've been trawling the internet looking for a free XML (or similar) feed for Australian horse racing results. Ideally, I would like to be able to pull in all runners finishing positions for each Aust race, but if I can get at a minimum, first to fourth that would suffice. Only need the basic attributes (runner, position, race no, event name).

I've looked at: http://batdata.betfair.com.au/xmlfeeds/results_rss.php

however, unless I'm missing something obvious (and that is quite likely!) this looks like it only details 2nd to 4th position???).

I'm looking to pull the data into either Excel or a MySQL DB (this is the preference) on a daily basis.

Any suggestions, links, etc would really be appreciated.

Cheers.

For anyone who may be facing a similar challenge this how I progressed.

If I view page source of http://batdata.betfair.com.au/xmlfeeds/results_rss.php

I can see the 1st to 4th runners for each meeting.

To import these details into MYSQL DB I installed SimplePie http://simplepie.org/ and then followed these instructions http://samueljcarlson.blogspot.com.a...se-script.html.

I then use some text manipulation to segregate the data into the format I need it in
