DRF is Geographically Biased

[JJP]

I noticed Philly has been added to the DRF's weekly charts. I'm not exactly sure why; I guess they assume the slot fueled purses are going to automatically turn it into a big league track. Still waiting for that to happen at PrM and Mnr.

The DRF prints regionally I do believe. My AM Simulcast edition does not have Philly but it does have Lone Star... I'm in Louisiana.

They are on their knees praying that the PA Derby and the Cottillion (sp??) purse hikes will bring the big dogs to the track...

Personally, I don't like or play Philly Park. The only reason I can think of why it always makes the form is that it is the first track to start. It seems that it always has the earliest post time and there is absolutely nothing else running at the time. So people play the first two or three from Philly and then play there usual tracks as they start.

Just use Drf.com and get any tracks you want

When I lived in California I would buy the DRF from a neighborhood store and it had the California tracks and whichever of the BIG east coast tracks were running. 90% of the time, this was the only Form I needed, it had all the tracks I wanted to bet on. I could pick up a free suppliment DRF when I went to the track for all of the other tracks if I needed them... here in the state of Washington, I have to buy West Coast AND East Coast DRF's at the OTB or liquor store to get the four tracks I want to play - it's absurd This is why I use Brisbet, so I can get their PP's for free... But I still love getting the Form at the track, it's not racing without it

Be thankful you can even find a DRF. The store where I've been buying it for years was told 2 weeks ago they won't be getting it because they don't sell out. I'm 25 miles from the nearest place to get it, and 20 miles away (in the other direction) from the nearest OTB and you can't get one in that city even though there are 2 OTBs there including a nice one in a restaurant. Love the post about connecting bank acct. to printer. I feel the same way.

DRF prints them as they get the entries from the tracks,so evidently Philly is posting their entries early enough to get in your edition.

They do put diff tracks together at different sites. And you can buy them online but you better have a laser printer. Inkjet printer forget it. I like a hardcopy, reading it straight off a computer screen does not have the right feel for me. Yet.

Here in Dallas the PM edition dosent include SA... You have to purchase another drf that I think is called the simocast edition. Maybe this week with LS opening we will be able to get LS and SA in the same edition. Maybe the drf is learning from the various tracks to split the forms up in the best way to stimulate more sales.

Yeah right. Dubya is more likely to start caring about the american people before that'll happen.
