Our Experience

With over 15 years in the IT industry, we decided to alter direction. To take what we had learnt and build something we could use. We will be using technologies and platforms that we have worked with for years:     

  • Java-based frameworks 
  • Open-source technologies
  • Cloud-based development
  • End-to-end integration
  • SAP HANA
  • Predictive Libraries

The Challenge

Every year on the first Tuesday of November everyone at work gathers around, beer in hand and watches the Melbourne cup; the race that literally stops a nation! With the first 4 payout usually the largest in the year and with a record payout of almost $1.5m; what if we could predict the first 4 horses in order?

Approach

Data is key! Lots of data! Us Aussies love a punt and horse racing. Google horse racing Australia and you get over 100 million results! Our aim is to get every piece of information available and build a robust self training model to accurately and precisely predict the first 4 horses in the 2020 Melbourne cup.
