  • Hi all,

    I just wondered if there a way to identify horse by country?

    For example, todays 13:20 Southwell meeting has 2 "normal/UK" horses, 4 IRE horses and 1 USA horse but these aren't included in the selections name.

    If I wanted to build a trigger to only trade on USA horses for example, what would be the best option?

    Thanks,

    Whitey

  • hi
    the nearest that you will get is to use the blocks and condition conditions
    block
    conditions
    selections silk_sire_bred is equal to "USA"
    OR selections silk_sire_bred is equal to "CAN"
    AND block
    conditions
    selections silk_dam_bred is equal to "USA"
    OR selections silk_dam_bred is equal to "CAN"

    add the block containing the 2 blocks to your triggers.
    it needs the 2 blocks and conditions, because there are a lot of IRE horses with just a mother or father from USA.
    there is a selection Luckster, that is not showing as USA, but the father and mother are USA , maybe the mother had the foal in the UK.

  • Hi mcbee,

    Thanks, I will give that trigger a go tomorrow.

    I think the answer is no to this next question but I will ask it anyway! Is there a way to tell how many times a horse as ran that the track it's currently a selection for (using MFP)?

    Thanks,

    Dave
