Betfair to remove race numbers from US race descriptions

jamee, can you post a link to the actual article , that link needs a developer program log in. Cheers.

I've read it. Race number rather than racehorse number. See no reason for them doing this, the race times are only ever a guide over there, it will just mean once races are delayed people won't have a clue what race is coming up.

Agreed, it will make race identification much harder.

Please be aware that from w/c 12th May, for operational reasons, we'll be removing the race number (e.g. R1, R2, R3 etc.) from the market name of US horse racing events returned via the Betfair API & website.

race numbers still there. it was a stupid proposal.
