Default DRF screws the pooch

Seems odd--Friday's print DRF (at least down here in S. FL) does not have the Derby or Woodford PPs. So how are you to bet the 2 day wagers? You can get the Derby PPs on the website for free, but I didn't see the Woodford.

I guess they want you to buy the Saturday version on Friday, huh?

Steve talked about this on ATR, east coast Form's don't have them - a caller recommended going to the trainers web sites to pull the Bris PP's.


Finally, there's an advantage to living on the west coast... this will surely make up for the fact that I don't get the first several races for east coast tracks on the weekends

can you bet from home in California?

doesn't TVG/ HRTV televise the races live?

just wondering what your options are

Online betting is allowed in California, I've got a couple accounts. TVG is in our cable package but I watch most races online. What's really annoying is that the local simulcast center doesn't show the early races from the east coast, even when the building is open.

Drawing Saturday's card on Wednesday afternoon didn't help.

I expect nothing less from the overpaid mouth-breathers at CDI.

DRF has been going down the toilet for a while now.Graded stakes races used to have the entrants full record,not anymore.It is becoming less data and more crap.Wait till you see the Saturday issue,it will be loaded with B.S.Now they are affiliated with NBC,so get ready for even more human interest crap.
