Unset

The unset option removes unwanted criteria from your system. Choose all the categories you want to remove by ticking the boxes to the left hand side then press Go to be taken to a confirmation screen. After confirming, you will return to the main System Builder screen and your specifications will have been amended.

Comments -

  • Use the tickboxes to select all criteria you want removed.
  • If you have a category set in your query and decide you want to now include all possibilities, use Unset.

Skip and Save

Sometimes when you have a system you are 100% sure about and have built all the criteria, you may wish simply to save it for future notifications. Going through the Run Query option and viewing statistics etc does require searching the database therefore it is far quicker to skip these stages and head straight to the save system screen if appropriate. Clicking the Skip and Save option does precisely this!

Static/Non-Static Categories

The System Builder allows members to save systems and retrieve daily qualifiers in the My Systems area.

In this regard, it is vital you are aware which of your categories are static and which are not. You can clarify by navigating to the category where you can view confirmation of static/non-static status. To confirm exactly what is meant by Static/Non Static, see the descriptions below

Definition -

  • Static Categories - For all categories marked as static the criteria is not open to change. This means your criteria is locked in and there is no area for movement. For example Track is a static category and if you have specified Kempton as part of your criteria you can be sure only horses due to run at Kempton that day will be retrieved. All categories relating to previous races are static (such as Jockey LR, Race Distance 2LR, Odds 4LR etc).


  • Non-Static Categories - All categories marked as non-static are subject to change - reasons include non-runners, overweight, odds fluctuation and a change in the going conditions. The information we load on to the site in advance of a days racing is based on what is known at the time and therefore ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure you do not miss or incorrectly back any given horse. An example would be Jockey - if you have included Frankie Dettori as a system criteria all horses he is down to ride the night before will be flagged to you but you should always be aware that its possible he may either miss or obtain additional rides after this point.

Existing System Criteria

The existing system criteria display confirms the criteria you have already set in your horse racing system. This means whichever page you may be on, where appropriate the information is being used behind the scenes to formulate the display. Where space permits the existing system criteria will be displayed in a panel on the right hand side otherwise a button will be available, which if clicked will open a new window. Any of the horse racing category headings may be clicked if you require confirmation on any aspect.
