Default $7.50 for DRF!
Live in Deerfield Beach Florida and had to pay $7.50 for form even though it has $7.00 for a price printed on DRF. Cardboard sign said $7.50!
Anyone else get gouged?

the increase is to compensate the DRF for the new artwork!

That's how these 'cults' work. They get you brainwashed into the system and then you pay through the nose for their product. FREE is another option. Free (pun intended) for all those open to exploring it.

(Of course, if you go the cult route, you get to use all those cool phrases: "FAST", "no trips in slow races", "new top", etc. This alone might be worth paying for. ha haha )

They also rip you off by putting Churchill PP's in the Crap edition,with Beulah,Thistle,River Downs,and then they put all the good tracks in another edition,so you have to buy two copy's.Crist sits and complains about how tracks treat the fans,and yet he is right there with them screwing us all.

do you mean you are already down $7.50 before you place a bet?

Ridiculous,
