Happy 3 thousandth post Phil.......


The DRF is the Kleenex of daily racing publications. Although they haven't come up with anything new in many years to offset the tools challenging for market share such as TGH or Ragozin to name a few they remain the standard by which all racing information is evaluated while still putting out a very reasonable product that is about 20% of the cost of TGH for a single track.

You can do far worse than spending $5.50 for 5-8 tracks with several daily columnlist reporting the news and events of the industry....

Try playing this game without PP's and trainer angles and see how quickly you miss them.

So your point is that since they include Thisledown, River Downs and Calder (which I don't think anyone can bet, I know I can't), that it is okay that they overcharge us and not care that there are errors strewn throughout, that their analysis is being viewed as poor by one (if not more) of their readers, that apparently (according to Chuck) their M/L is a joke and that suggestions made by their readers on how to possibly improve their product are dismissed without response?

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!
