DRF is really starting to suck!

Tampa Bay Downs has an 11:30 post time,and DRF puts them in the P.M.edition.
For Graded stakes races they used to publish the full racing record of the horses,now you get ten running lines.
They used to publish all the PP's for all the stakes races for that day in every edition,now your lucky if you get any.
And on Saturday now,you get an insert that is nothing but a waste of paper.
I would rather have more past performance info and less of all the worthless commentary.Maybe they could lower the price then.

Bullshit! Every graded stakes had the complete record of each horse,and this was stopped by them not long ago.I have the issue with With Anticipation's full racing record from when he ran in the Sword Dancer in 2002 sitting right in front of me.

i dont think you are being truthful here. no biggie. but every single graded stakes race did not feature the entire full race record of every horse. i agree, it has gotten pricey. i just know what you are saying isnt totally truthful.

I don't remember if it was every graded race, but I do remember for major graded stakes that the did publish the full racing record. I haven't used DRF in ten years. They have made some modest improvements to their publication, but there are better products with better information readily available, and I'm not just talking about the "sheet" style formats of Rags, Thorograph, Equiform. Brisnet and Trackmaster have superior "traditional" formats that you can download and customize. When I look at a DRF now, I feel like I'm stuck in the 80's.
