Filter out 5f races only (not 2m5f)

[gstar1975]

How can I filter out al 5f races?

If I put in the Text filter "Not 5f" it also filters out any race that contains 5f, so 1m5f 2m5f 3m5f.

I would like to inlcude races with 1m5f 2m5f 3m5f.

Put two spaces. ie "Not[space][space]5f"

Thanks for that. Why 2 spaces?

I guess BA treats the first space as natural syntax and the second space as part of the look-up. So 1m5f would not trigger whereas 5f will because it has a space before the 5.

I see very clever. Thanks for your insight.

Hi James

I've just notice this today when I went to add my coupon this morning, the "race distance" for 5f races is not showing on the list. Any idea why and how to resolve?

I use
5F AND NOT 1m AND NOT 2m AND NOT 3m AND NOT 4m

I use
5F AND NOT 1m AND NOT 2m AND NOT 3m AND NOT 4m

Thanks Dallas I will try that. But why didnt 5f show up in the list of races? Maybe the Betfair fetch data wasn't working properly.

Edit: I tried that and it only shows 5f I was to filter them out. My filter worked ok. I was just wondering why the 5f race distance was missing in the list after the name of the race.

Sorry I never read the earlier posts and thought you were trying to filter just 5F races

The market names are imported from BF so anything missing or not 100% correct with them will be on there side

I've never seen a British race miss-labelled like that, so the issue should be very unusual. It seems ok now so perhaps Betfair swiftly fixed it?

You can also achieve this by loading all races and then either sorting by race distance in Guardian and manually remove offending markets, or if you're using automation then you can add a simple ">5.5 furlongs" condition to your automation so it only triggers for races 6f and longer.
