If there is one thing I would like added to the DRF it would be this.

I've asked Steve Crist the same question you posed and he said that the information is not available when they print the pp's.
I don't understand why there is all the nitpicking about this fine paper. Sure it stinks that the price is $5.50 on newstands but they have to cover the costs of manufacturing and distributing the paper. I use Formy 4.1 most of the time and it's worth its weight in gold. I have a laser printer and buy rebuilt printing cartridges so I can print hundreds of cards before I need a new cartridge. Once I have the card printed I use Formy 4.1 to look up the charts and at times trainer info.
I prefer Formy 4.1 but the print paper is fine. The main difference is I have to look up charts in my archives for the last three when I buy the print edition.
Nonetheless I always buy a next day Form when I go to Belmont or Saratoga.
