Hi guys

I am wanting to add conditions to my trigger that exclude certain race venues and distances but am struggling to do it.

For the venues can i just add a condition to discount say Lingfield from the market name and just add a condition for every venue I don't want my trigger to operate?

For the distance I have no clue. I have seen the market_length variable but don't know what to put in the other condition parameters.

Can anyone help?

Market's Name is sufficient for both.

And Market's Name does not contain "Ling"
And Market's name does not contain "-6f"

I think there's always a hyphen before the distance on all GB races .. this will help you exclude 6f races, but not 1m6f, 2m6f etc.

please check in test mode

sorry to be a bit dense but do i need to include the inverted commas as in "ling"?

hi
for the distance, 1f = 201.168 mtrs
to see the distance for any race in meters, open the variables screen and type  market_length
this will display the distance in meters
to add a condition for the distances you must use is between, because not all distances are 5f or 6f, they can be 5f 120yds etc.
so for 5f you would have the condition
and selections trigger expression market_length is between 1005.00 and 1190.00

this covers the 5f to just under 6f
