The OTB closest to me (a Twin Spires property) often has no forms till the day of. They arrive via Greyhound bus. They open at 11am so it's useless. I found that if you change the print to gray and go with recycled ink the cost is probably the same as I need 3 tracks usually 2 max. Formulator also allows you to customize the amount of back races shown which I limit to 5 and use the laptop to go back farther if needed. Fortunately the OTB is near a hotel allowing me to piggy back off their wireless signal. People are amazed to see me watching past races via racereplays.com. I also charge $2 per race to anyone who wants to see a particular race. This more than covers my subscription fees and a chunk of my bar and food bill. Now if I can just get them to turn up the calls instead of country music videos I'm set.
