Please help! Backing two horses in one race.
« on: 25 Feb 2018, 00:12 »
I found the trigger 'the maximum' for say if your imported selections are three horses it will back on the one with the highest price.

Now If I pick four horses for example, how do I back (before race) the TWO highest prices in that race from my selections.

It's lost me this one. 

Or I could say the two highest rank from my selections?

So in pic I will back Red Danaher & Champion Chase.

Any help appreciated.

hi
you need to record the 2 horses with the highest price using 2 triggers , then your backing trigger backs these 2 selections.
if you have problems creating the triggers please use the make me a trigger and do a request.

Hi
Perhaps try something like this:

selections sorting order is defined by back_price
and selections trigger expression match_index is between matching_number-1 and matching_number

Thanks Mcbee & Mark,

I will try what you both suggested and if I get stuck I will put a trigger request in.

Thanks
