Daily Racing Form

Did anyone hear anything about DRF going back to its old size ? A friend of mine said he was told that at Freehold,when purchasing a form.

I haven't seen or heard of anything like that. Personally, the new size has grown on me. I like it better. I especially like that some tracks are not all messed up with inserts etc...

The new form is good, you can flip fast to the track you want.

The new DRF has managed to persuade me to do something that I've been reluctant to do for five years now.

Handicap off of a computer screen.

The end of an era?

I hate doing that. I think it's extremely awkward with all the scrolling. I burn a lot of paper and ink around here, printing PPs.

Have only used the new form at the Breeders' Cup and a Sunday at Golden Gate but I was a fan of it as soon as I got it into my hands. Not having had a form in my hand since Arkansas Derby day maybe I didn't realize what may have been missing, but I didn't feel like anything was sacrificed and I preferred the size very much.

I suspect that was the goal....as long as you're handicapping DRF PPs on your computer screen!

I hate the small print and the shorter abbrevaiation for the horses in the running lines. I like to look at the "company" a horse runs with.... when seperating contenders.
