FREE-Full Equibase 2023 Dataset available at no charge
Equibase announced March 11, 2024 the availability of a complimentary dataset with a full year of past performance data and corresponding results charts for development, research, and evaluation purposes. The dataset will include all racing information for the 2023 calendar year with the appropriate supporting documentation
Here's the link to the announcement: https://www.equibase.com/content/new...124release.cfm Here's the link to the registration form: https://www.equibase.com/handicappersdata.cfm Anyone can ask for this data. I have separately asked Equibase/TrackMaster whether I can provide an equivalent free RDSS database for the entire 2023 year. I'll report here what the response is. Thanks to Equibase for stepping up to make data more available for research and development - to stay ahead in this game! Ted

I did get a copy of this dataset. It's all in XML format, and needs to be imported into a spreadsheet (one track/date at a time), database, etc., or if someone wants to write an XML parser (schema?) to import into their own viewing of the data.
If there is a way they can put it into an RDSS format that would make it easier for us. |

The XML Chart files (not PPs) are the same data files RDSS gets. I asked Equibase if I could provide the same year 2023 in RDSS format - full Charts + PPs so people could do studies within RDSS or re-export from RDSS to other formats (Excel, CSV).
They have not responded so I should bug them. Don't see why not - they already permit a one-week sample of every track, every year anyway (though I only ever provided this once: 2010, in the Example database section). Ted
