hi
you can only use silk_owner
so you would have to know the owner of each horse then compare it with the silk_owner.

Hi,
In that case sm56 would need to have a way of monitoring ownership
otherwise the expression silk_form_length would only be valid until a new owner
(new silks) takes over. If I'm not mistaken.

Hi

Having issue seems to be when the horses form in Australia has an X or x in the form line. Which indicates a spell or let up.

Do you know a work around this thanks?

You seem to be confused about the use of 'silk' in expressions.  This word is merely used in the program to construct a number of variables based on the horse's form, it has nothing to do with the ownership of the horse, except of course in the variable silk_owner.

There may be a way to ignore the x in Aus form, but I have never actually looked at form in those races so I can't help with this query.

Hi
Thanks for reply, what I am trying to do is use silk_form_length to exclude runners that have =< 4 runs.
But when the form contains an 14X2  or 233x it doesn't seem to work?

Thanks

hi
when you say it doesn't seem to work, what do you mean , do you want the trigger to place a bet or not.

hi

I would like to use as a AND condition but seems to be unreliable think due to where the X,x are located in the string?

Thanks

hi
you did not answer my question.
should it be a condition to bet if there is an x/X or not to bet if there is an x/X

Sorry, what I'm trying to do is just include horses only that have => 4 starts eg 1255, 67796, 3427, but if the horse has a X or x in its form string it doesnt seem to work correctly.

My trigger conditions are simple place bet 2 min before start. AND Market % => 99% AND Horses runs => 4

I import a list of horses I would like to back but with above conditions.

Thanks
