Data & Downloads

Racing Data Downloads

Download today's racing data in Excel format. The number of statistics depends on your tier: Basic (148 columns), Enhanced (240 columns), Pro (329+ columns).

  • Download today's data early to build your analysis before the markets move.
  • Use Excel's filter and sort to quickly narrow down runners by course, class, or going.
  • The data key explains every column — bookmark it for reference.
  • Pro tip: use conditional formatting in Excel to highlight green/amber/red horseshoe values for a visual shortlist.

Historical Data

Download past racing data for backtesting and research. Basic subscribers get 148 columns, Enhanced subscribers get 240 columns, Pro subscribers get the full 329+ column dataset.

Data Export Builder

Build custom exports in the Export Builder by choosing your date range, selecting columns from our 329+ statistics, and optionally filtering by one of your automated systems. Save column selections as favourites for quick re-use. A confirmation modal shows your estimated cost before you commit.

  • Use a system filter to export only your system's selections — much cheaper and more focused than a general export.
  • Save column presets as favourites so you don't have to re-tick columns each time.
  • General exports cover all future re-downloads for those dates. System exports cover re-downloads of the same system.
  • Check your export history to see past downloads and re-download links (valid 7 days).

Tipping & Winner Data

Download tipping data to spot trends with BetTurtle tips. Download winner data to identify patterns and build systems based on historical results.

Re-downloading previously purchased date ranges is always free. The Export Builder shows your balance, estimated cost, and a full breakdown before you commit. View Data Credits.

329+ Statistics

Browse the full data key to understand every available statistic, from form ratings and pace analysis to trainer/jockey stats and market data.

  • You don't need all 329 stats. Start with the core columns: horseshoe ratings, odds, form figures, trainer/jockey stats.
  • Use the Data Export Builder to create focused exports with just the columns you need.
  • For modelling, the most predictive stats are typically: Pick Rank, Ability rating, recent form, course form, and value odds.
