Print DRFs are great if they’re (a) FREE (Nevada casinos); or (2) stolen from a carrel at Hollywood Park OOOPSSS… but at $7-8 a pop you’ll have paid for the reader before the final leg of the Strub Series fact! Miss the horse pictures, the articles and the sometimes-fascinating classifieds in the back, but then I also miss the Herald Examiner lol, oh well time rolls on…

I totally get the young turks using all the technology you can use for the pp's.I still like to print my pp's so I can write down my own crazy notes and use my own codes.

Geez one of the fun part of racing was to watch some frustrated gambler rip his form to shreds then storm out of the track. No wonder nobody ever goes there!!

I'm still searching for the real killer....OJ Simpson from Clark County Detention Center

But doesn't ink cost like $77 for a refill nowadays? Unless of course you buy the cheapass $7.99 refills at .

Plus, imo you can't be the smell of a fresh Racing Form paper - the only thing that smells better is horse manure on the backside in the morning.

One of the perks for working for Comcast/Universal/NBC/GE/Vivendi/Seagrams is during TC preps and the TC races my printer is on fire.

I don't think smearing horse manure on the backside in the morning will catch on Vince, sorry
