hi tim
i have hit a brain BLOCK.
i can record the last winning favorite with the pw_1_sel_index and link that to my fav index record for the last race, thus giving me the favourite that won (pw_1 only give the odds or index).
BUT how can i remember/record the last 2 races.
so i can use the info for the next race.

Hi Mcbee

Did you ever come up with a solution to this?  In the greyhounds I've created a remember trigger (I called it 'fave') and I can refer to it with 'fave_1_sel_name' and compare that to 'winner_name' to see if the favourite won the last race.

As I think you already know, this falls over regularly as if a new race starts before the previous one has settled, the trigger expression 'fave_1_sel_name' relates to the current market and no longer ties to the market which is still waiting to settle.

I guess the solution is to be able to create a list of faves which is added to as the races go off, and then you can see if 'winner_name' is in the list, yet I'm struggling to create such a list.  If 'add to an already remembered list' option in the remember trigger is the answer I can't work out the syntax to address this list.

hi
wow that was 2 years ago.
i found it better to use delete market if the last market is not settled, this way there can be no mistakes in the last winner info.

Yes, sorry for dragging up the past, but I came across your thread in looking for a solution, so I figured it made sense to keep the discussion in one place.

Unfortunately your solution wouldn't work for me, as I want to record all winners roughly in order, so deleting a market wouldn't work for my purposes.

I want to be able to identify a winner even if another market has started.  Am I on the right track with creating a list of favourites near the off that is added to each time a new market is opened.  If so, do you have any pointers how to go about that, and how to query the list?
