jockey name

Hi i am having trouble with the names of jockeys what conditions do i use? When i use trigger expression silk_jockey is equal to or contains Denis O'Regan nothing fires and when i use selections jockey's name is equal to or contains Denis O'Regan nothing fires. Also does the spelling of the jockey's name have a bearing on the conditions for example do i use Denis O'Regan or "Denis_O'Regan". Regards Andrew

Hi
silk_jockey is a string variable, so should be in quotes. See screenshot. Spelling should be exactly as per Betfair data, but you can also use a partial string e.g. contains "Denis".

hi
you can use is in list,
and selections jockey's name is in list
(but the list must be like this) .

WILLIAM BUICK,Frankie Dettori,Ted Durcan,T. E. DURCAN,J. P. SPENCER,Jamie Spencer,David Allan,D. ALLAN,Adam Kirby,A. KIRBY,Pat Cosgrave,P. COSGRAVE,MARTIN LANE,Pat Dobbs,ADAM BESCHIZZA,P. DOBBS,P. J. BRENNAN,Paddy Brennan

the name has to be exact as betfairs jockey name.
they used to be different than racing post and sporting life, so get the name direct from the horse silks in the full mode.

Hi im struggling to see what is wrong here Paul Hanagan is on Ektihaam but condition is false
14:42:56     Condition is: FALSE.
14:42:56   Selection: Ektihaam, initial expr.: "silk_jockey", intermediate: "Paul Hanagan", final: "Paul Hanagan".
14:42:56     Checking condition and Selection's Trigger Expression "silk_jockey" is in list "Paul Hanagan" "Richard Hughes" " William Buick".
14:42:56     Condition is: TRUE. valid for 1 selections: Ektihaam.
14:42:56

Hi
The section of the log you posted shows the condition as TRUE?

The trigger expression is best used for checking a specific value, for example from your first post:
selection's triggers expression "silk_jockey" is equal to "Paul Hanagan"
or selection's trigger expression silk_jockey contains "Hanagan"

Have you tried mcbee's suggestion:

selection's jockey's name is in list
LIST: Paul Hanagan,Richard Hughes,William Buick

Hi could someone have a look at what im doing wrong i have added quotes and deleted quotes but still cant get either trigger to work

Hi
See attached.

Cheers Mark
