First, any ADW should be able to provide you with a statement. Second, don't you keep losing tickets from the track, and on days when you hit for a signer, collect more from what is laying around?

This is the reason I use a "Player's Card" that is tied to a number specificaly assigned to you. The IRS could say that you picked up tickets that were not yours and can't prove they aren't. But if you have tickets with a number then it is proof that YOU made the bets. Also, pick up any lottery scratch-offs you see laying around and save them for the same purpose and keep non-winning lottery tickets if you have them or can find them.
