You would think that DRF would realize the marketing strategy of compiling a list of online locations and allow you to search within a few miles of a zip code.

I too prefer the hard the copy, for whatever reason I do not get the same comprehension reading something in detail on a computer that I get reading a print copy, whether it being reading the Form or law. Printing is time consuming and I can't write notes and grades on the side when I am using a computer.

Math, I too live in Manhattan and have my locations but there are times that they sell out because of their limited copies. I notice that often if you cannot get the Form the day before the stores always get a few Forms in the morning the day of the races you are looking for, you just got to get there before about 11 a.m. to noon.

Yeah, the search for the form was always the hardest part. Ditto on the smoke shop thing. I used to try to get the "Past Performances for Saturday" copy on Thursday -- that was even harder to find.

I also buy it online like most of us here, but if I'm going with my grandfather or some friends who are not as computer literate, I like to pick up a copy for them instead of printing out a lot of loose pages.
