Yet another clever new DRF section..
 
DRF adds 'Inside Post', a round-up of the Track Reporters day-to-day news. These reports have always been a pulse of track news, but putting them on a daily one page compendium was smart and helpful.

I can see how they are useful if you are betting from home. If that is what people rely on.

My favorite DRF section to share with others is the three or four inches of print space devoted to national and/or world news each day.


Even degenerate gamblers need to stay connected to real time world happenings, I tell others......

Grening, Welsch, Rampellini and Hersh are particularly adept reporters that cull a great amount of information from their respective backstretches. Rampellini somehow covers about 9 tracks. She's unbelievable.

And it's even more of a resource than originally thought.. They've made the track reports into blogs to which you can subscribe. It can obviously be invaluable too, as checking yesterday would have yielded the fact that there was a $60k Super High 5 C/O at HOL Thursday... (which ended up paying out $49k).

Wouldn't equibase have told you the same thing?

Personally? No. I don't use Equibase much.

I really think you should check it out. It's where DRF gets most of its info from anyway.

Thanks. I'm quite familiar with Equibase content.

chucklestheclown 07-17-2009 09:37 PM

I'm sure you are. And if you don't like the layout I don't blame you. But carryovers are there for all to see. What makes the DRF so much better?

chucklestheclown 07-17-2009 09:39 PM

And why pay DRF for something that is still free on equibase?

EQUIBASE SUCKS.
But, nonetheless, I'm big on free. Especially since the data is flawed and the opinions are, as well. And, in a game where just about everyone loses, why pay (extra) for the privilege?

Harbored?

They have also added a Twitter feed for this feature.
But they don't signal which track their Tweeting about when they update.
Hopefully they'll fix this as they tweak the product.

I'm not paying to know what the carryovers are.

couple that with not needing pp's, and you must hit pick 6's on a regular basis with 2.00 bets and no money or time invested, congrats.
