Description: A Work in Progress : This is a web scraper I am writing (using Scrapy) to scrape the Racing Post website. As a part time bookmaker clerk, I am interested in the biases (e.g. stall draw, likely pace, course shape etc) surrounding various aspects of horse racing which contribute to the winner the likely winner. I hope to use this data (scraped daily for the following day's racing) to build up a dataset, so that it can be analysed to look for any correlations.
