I'll leave the details on Richie's hand-done 'automation' to him, but for the record, he is referring to the planned 'Paceline Selection Strategy (PSS)' feature I'm working on, where you compose a set of rules to guide the software to (optionally) pre-selecting a line (or lines) for each horse. Though I haven't gotten into it yet, this presumably continues on to automated eliminations as well (e.g. all but top 5 CPR or Total Energy).

A simple PSS would be 'last line' - no brainer. Another would be 'best of last 3' similar distance (e.g. within n furlongs), similar surface (do you mix Poly and Turf), etc, etc. Lot of moving parts, but trying to set up a user-defined template where you roll your own, make your preferred caveats, etc, etc. Let's see.

Re automated wager submission - upload to the conditional queues of those ADWs providing an upload feature (TwinSpires, PTC, Ubet), or direct interface with each ADW via API or other browser automation (an extension of existing tote interface).
