Track news and notes

[Cigarillo]

Oh I guarantee those aren't originals but its just weird to me that they chose to not take them down. Even if they didn't want them at the new Belmont, some fan would have bought them. proceeds could have gone to a good cause. guess it doesn't matter now cause they are gone.

I would have definitely bought that Cigar picture! That's just wrong.

FanDrool just announced that the last two races on the Emerald Downs card have been cancelled due to really heavy rain and poor track conditions.

Wasn't sure where to ask this, but...what has happened to DRF's Entries and Results info?
They always showed the pedigree on entrants, but that information seems to have disappeared lately. I like checking out the pedigrees on runners, and having to go to another source (like Bloodhorse) for bloodlines is really time-consuming and impractical.

DRF appears to have made the deletion of pedigree info permanent. None of the tracks I checked have sire/dam listed for the entrants anymore.
DRF has also removed the information of whether a horse is scratched or not, which seems kind of important if you are trying to decide where to place a bet.
Any idea why DRF has turned their Entries & Results into a shadow of the former information they used to show?

I wonder if there have been staffing cuts in the research dept

I'm not familiar with these features, Is this something you pay for or is it a FREE service?

[BaroqueAgain1]

Free. When I click on either Entries or Results on their main page, a page with all the tracks DRF has info on will show up. Click on the track, and a list of all the races w/entrants appears. And that list always had sire/dam and whether the horse was scratched or if there is a replacement jockey. There was a lot of info on those pages, and most of it is gone now.
Phooey.
