    How to tell the difference between harness race and trotting race

    Can anyone tell me how to determine the difference between horse race and trotting race.

    I can filter greyhounds using however EventID=7 gets both horse and trots.


    I need to differentiate to make it easier for when I go to other bet sites to scrape their odds.

    The only way is know is to look at market name and filter for "Pace" or "Trot"
    Following is a list of market names (win markets) to illustrate.

    R3 2170m Trot M
    R2 1100m 2yo
    R4 1000m Mdn
    R7 1600m Hcap
    R3 1600m Mdn
    R3 1200m Mdn
    R4 1670m Pace M

    Not sure whether this 100% reliable.

      I've been using the method suggested by boacon for about 3 months and haven't seen any exceptions.

        Excellent, thanks a lot.

        I thought initially you meant TROT=Trotting and PACE=harness but a quick check and I see both TROT OR PACE refer to trotting

        Made some changes in my code and works like a treat.
