No I definitely do not want to try and play the game without PP's, but I would like it more if they looked at their "Kleenex" type product and removed the boogers from it. |

you are giving away secrets again. just use the thing for handicapping(PP's). half of what those guys say and pick is either crap, chalk or both. alot of time i wonder if they are betting what they pick to begin with!

I'd pay $5.50 to get this thread to stop.

Jesus Christ.
Never thought I'd hear someone complain about paying five bucks for a DRF, when Ragozins are 35 DOLLARS A CARD and TG's are 25. At least you get multiple tracks from the Form, racing news and handicapping columns. The only thing I'd agree with you on is that the Closer Looks are getting lazy, and the ink sucks, but that's about it. Everything else is fine, and $5.50 is a freaking bargain. Get a grip. |

I have some old forms from the 80's and if you look at them they appear blank. There's so much more information in today's form than previously someone from back then would be shocked at the details now included and consider it a bargin. BY the way, I too am 1000 miles from anywhere to buy a form and do everything on line anyway.
Personally though, I prefer Brisnet, but that's me. Spyder

Personally, I think the DRF is great. I download a ton of race cards, read articles on line all the time, etc. -- and I still buy the paper-version DRF. To whatever extent you are going to be in the game, you have your tools and you use them. If the price of the tools is an issue, then you do without. If you don't see value in a certain tool, you don't buy it.

Where do I say that the information provided in the DRF is a complete waste? How the hell can one handicap without PP's? Is my point that difficult to comprehend? Do I write in code? Why shouldn't we expect the premiere racing periodical in our country to be top notch? If you feel that the DRF is top notch, and the errors and flaws I speak of don't exsist, then say so. But, I'm pretty sure that they do exist, because I don't just pull this crap out of my ass. I don't feel that the DRF's price increases over the past 2-3 years (somewhere between 35% and 40%) are justified based on the dimminishing quality over that same period. |

2. Their product is deteriorating? Aside from print, DRF has a great product in Formulator. They obviously have a segmented approach. A thinned down print version for casual players and Formuator for the other folks. If you have not used Formulator, give it a spin. 3. The writing is poor? Yes, see #1. I, for one, long for the short but sweet days of The Racing Times. It was a sad day for us when Fox fell -- or was pushed -- off that boat. 4. If you find the DRF print version fairly not useful, aside from the PPs, get them for free from Youbet (or Bris PPs for free from TwinSpires). If you like some public handicapper insight and play the major tracks, I'm sure the NY, LA and KY papers will have that. 5. Take the savings and get a Race Replays account. At $60 for 90 days, that's about $.75 a day, not very much money really. 6. Morning Line? I don't know what to say. If you took a step back and considered how much you have to spend, what some of the options are and how to spend it the wisest, you might be pleasantly surprised at how much bang you can get for that $5.50 a day, even if it's only a couple days a week. I do really miss The Racing Times. |
