After using a free, well known web scraping tool for some months, I got fed up with the amount of data stored that I was unable to delete (didn't have the authority to delete my own data for some reason). Although this is a well known bug and was supposed to have been fixed several months ago,(it wasn't), I still ended up with 10-15 lots that couldn't be removed (times that over several months, and you can see how ludicrous it was becoming).

So I made my own basic web scraper that goes out and gets all the runners race history for the day. I've attached a sample out of the data collected. If anyone's interested they can have a working copy for £5.00 (please pm me)

Note the re-run button only re-runs the no data returned horses, but you can see that they are first timers.

Works with Excel 2007 onwards, (just make sure you have the necessary vba references checked in your workbook.)
