Every dog in one greyhound race with its recent runs, from our own results

Cost: 3 credits. Every dog in one greyhound race with its recent runs from our own results, in one call: the field's form, not one dog's. Australian races and, from 12 October 2026, British and Irish ones.

Naming the race. race_id from /v1/racing/next-to-go, /events or /results is exact. Failing that, venue + meeting_date + race_number: the AET meeting date for an Australian race, the London date for a British or Irish one, the track matched by words there ("Towcester" finds "Betway Towcester"). Only greyhound races are matched, so a track that races dogs and trots on the same day is not ambiguous (from 13 October 2026); two greyhound races sharing those three answer 409 race_ambiguous and cost nothing.

The field. While the race is open the runners come from the live card (card_source: live): rug number, trap, trainer and the card's form figures as the books publish them -- PointsBet on every card, William Hill on the British and Irish ones -- with a dog the card has since scratched kept in the field and marked scratched: true. Once the race has been run and the live card purged, the field is the settled result's (card_source: results).

The runs. Under each dog, its newest runs runs (default 10, at most 20) and a starts, wins and places summary over every run held, ONLY RUNS BEFORE THIS RACE'S START (form_as_at), so a race already run answers with what was knowable at the jump and never with its own result. On an Australian race the runs are the same store /v1/racing/greyhounds/form reads -- our own collected results and the history behind them, with times, splits, weight, PIR and grade where the source printed them. On a British or Irish race they are our own GB/IE results from PointsBet's settled race card since 12 October 2026: the paid places carry a position (three on a six-dog field), every other starter reads ran with position null -- not placed, which covers a dog that did not finish, and source.note says so on every British or Irish answer -- and there are no times, splits or grades; source.region reads GB-IE and source.coverage_from is that floor, so most dogs hold few or no runs yet -- British dogs race about weekly, and the record grows with every meeting we settle. runs_total counts STARTS (status: ran), the same figure as stats.starts, and held_rows_total every held row, scratchings and unused reserves included, which is what runs is drawn from; before 2026-10-13 runs_total counted every row.

Identity. Dogs are grouped on name_key, the name's letters and digits, the same fold the one-dog routes use; pass it as dog there for the full record. A race we cannot find is a free 404, a race we hold no field for a free 404, an unknown query parameter a free 422. Greyhounds only; thoroughbreds have /v1/racing/form. Cached 10 minutes; the Australian store refreshes hourly, the British and Irish runs are read live.
