Daily Racing "Program"
First time I have seen this here in Ohio was today. Four dollars gets you this baby that has sixteen tracks in it. I am real curious, do you guys like this?
Me, no. I appreciate the idea but I much prefer the old standby DRF for five dollars and fifty cents with the bigger pages, bigger print and articles. I don't play over two tracks on any given day so why do I need a program with sixteen?

Depends on what you're used to. I've always used the Form, so the track program looks like Japanese to me. However, I have friends that grew up using the track program, so they're comfortable with it.

Multiple DRF choices, early east/east midwest/late midwest/late west In house arlington program Or a simucast book, which has equibase type PP's for every track they are carrying. Early and late book.... Me personally, I am an In house Arlington program along with TG sheets, and I'll tag along any DRF pp's from online for any other tracks I want. If I get that simucast book in my hands, I am a danger to myself....

I personally perfer the form, unless it is going to be one of those Mountaineer, Charlestown, Penn National nights. Then I would rather have a book like with the pp's instead of downloading the form and going through 2 ink cartridges.

probably to 'fast' or lowest quality. i always check settings before a big print-if it's not important, not worth wasting much ink.
when you print a days form, it can take 30 or so pages just for one track.

Print on both sides with drf at fast normal or draft. Whole card comes out on only 8-9 pgs per track and ink does not bleed through to other side.

The Daily Racing Program is acutally a nice little product. I've used it a few times when I haven't been able to find a DRF -- which I prefer.
The "Program" should be a required item for sale at a simulcast facilities -- as opposed to those mimiographed PPs that many facilities sell for $1.50 or $2 a pop that feature only one track. So, you stop in and want to blow 30 minutes or an hour and you need to shell out $6 or $8 for four tracks -- and you might wind up finding out that there's really not a lot you like... This product has all the tracks and should really be "the" product offered at simulcast facilities. That said, I prefer the DRF. But, in a pinch, or at a simulcast facility as opposed to the cheap-o single-track PPs, the "Program" is OK.
