Default DRF Gripe

I don’t mean to be negative but the new display of entries and results on the DRF web site is practically useless to see on a smaller monitor or on a netbook or laptop (not to mention a smartphone). Please give people an option instead of forcing them to look at this new grotesque, cartoon like, enlarged version of essential information.

I know someone is trying to be clever and/or creative but “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it." I am not sure if it's just me or what?

Agreed. And the revised entries format is just as bad.

It would also be nice if they put the name of the stake race in the entries. Not just "150k stakes". Pretty crazy how they left that part out.

They should have left things the way they were.

That's true Pete. And the new formatting makes it impossible (or much harder anyway) to post the Stakes and regular races the way I have for years.

Good point. The results are also a mess. Before they had the pools/exotics on separate lines. Now it's all jammed up in a paragraph.

The only positive difference is the colors of each horse number. They should just go back tot he old set up and add the colors in.

The design was probably suited to view on a smartphone.
