You can download nearly 18 years of flat and jumps data at http://www.racingsense.com/ free of charge (uses ms access tables). I think the updates and declarations only cost a tenner a month or so. I've no idea of the accuracy of the data.

very good question and it just shows how inept the horse and greyhound tracks are at making money,
let me explain. racecourses here and abroad hold on to data like gold dust stating that it belongs to them and because of this and the stupidity of most betting companies its impossible to get decent historical race-form that can be used as research data for punters. If the courses could hear the penny drop they would supply the data to customers with a format that is easy to use, dependable and current or historical, punters would gladly pay a fee for it and all the betting tool app designers would design for this format, alas the bha and gbgb need a business brain badly. |

If the BHA undertook this task they could have jockeys and trainers add race rading comments to the race data. I don't think the market is that great for racing database services but having an affordable accurate database of results would stimulate betting turnover. Instead the BHA still have Weatherbys (an outfit that think a John Bull Printing Outfit is advanced technology) issuing results and declarations in HTML form (with all the inevitable spelling mistakes) at extortionate prices.

it seems racecourses can manage to make a race but they cant manage to make a historical data account of what actually happened and profit from it as it requires a certain level of noodle power.
