Default I Wish Every Track Would Do This, Where to Find a DRF

Gotta give props to Canterbury....when I head off to somewhere new its sometimes hard to find a DRF (i wish there was a accurate map on where you chould buy one anywhere in the country) especially at the track (have been sold out before when I got there). Canterbury has a map and the arrival time when the next day's DRF got there and when they should be done distrubiting them to local businesses.

That map would be great to have nationwide, I can't find anywhere near my job that has the DRF, I have to wait until I get close to home and buy it from the local smoke shop. Many times I have been stuck at work on a Saturday afternoon wishing I had a hard copy DRF to read and cap with....

That's fantastic, but not everyone wants to print out hundreds of pages of PP's and take them to the track.

I too would rather have the copy in my hands. Printing everything out is to time consuming. There are a handful of stores near me that carry the form. But my problem is getting a copy of it before they sell out. Even in downtown Manhattan, it's tough securing a copy. These's stands/stores that carry it only get a few copies, and it seems that they go very fast.

You don't necessarily have to print out everything.

Whenever I have bought the PPs online, I just use my laptop if I want to look at it.

It's funny, there was this off track facility I used to go to, and since I'd bring my laptop people would think I was using some magical computer program that was picking the horses for me. I'd have to tell them no....it's just the same exact racing form you are using...

I know this guy that killed my old printer while asking it to print about 200 pages in an hour....

Rumor has it his printer broke, so hopefully his reign of tyranny is waning. If only it could've happened in Louisville circa April '06, perhaps I'd be a totally different person now.

For me who live 40 miles from the nearest place to buy a paper copy of DRF, my only option is to get it online. I just wish DRF delivers to my doorstep daily.
