Horse racing data collection and selection program

I want to create a program which can collect horse racing data (scrape) from the internet and put into a database/spreadsheet. This data can be collected several days in advance. This is routine 1 and has about 10 pieces of data per race and then 40 pieces of data per horse in that race. Another routine (this is routine 2) is needed after the event to collect the results (winner, 2nd, 3rd and starting odds) and put in the same database. After the first routine is run I want to be able to search the database for certain variables to make selections. These variables need to be changeable to run tests on historical data which has already been collected (i.e. back test a betting system) Once this systems in this software has been thoroughly tested with back data and then with live races so all is proven it needs to be put in a salable software package which is protected from being copied.
