Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but I've found it difficult to find the racing form at the various sport books and could use some suggestions. Most places have some sort of excerpt which is marginal at best. The only place I've found it was at the Wynn as a registered guest. I have a DRF subscription but I'm guessing my iPad wouldn't be welcome at the sport book. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would think the race books wouldn't care about the iPad. May be wrong.

I don't have this problem. Usually racing forms are available behind the counter at most shops. Yes the 'real' Daily Racing Form in newspaper form. You gotta ask for it. They might make you pay for it, but if you are a hotel guest, or plan to bet more than a few races, they will usually give you one for free.

Maybe things have changed, though? The last time I grabbed a form was in Bellagio in September.

Not sure about the iPad. If you go to the counter and explain your intentions, I bet they will allow its use.

Without fail, what ever sportsbook I am in, they always say "The real ones are $4 each" OK, I'm going to bet hundreds and thousands of dollars, do you think I care about paying $12 for each of the forms??

Its always like they want me not to buy the Form.

Thanks for the responses. Guess it wouldn't hurt to ask about the iPad. I'll be out there for derby week and Ive got the standard CET offers as well as an offer from Red Rock. Plenty of time to make those decisions. Red Rock looks great but a rental car seems mandatory. So, any opinions as to best place to catch the derby?
