"The thoroughbred horsemen’s contract with Arlington International Racecourse had expired and track management, with the collaboration of a political ally, Racing Board Chairman Jeff Brincat, was attempting to oust the ITHA as the collective bargaining agent of owners and trainers and replace it with a puppet organization, the Illinois Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Foundation (ITBOF)."
Why does this excerpt from Milbert's article on Dave McCaffery at HRU matter?
Because it shows how much influence the assholes at Arlington have over the IRB and Mr. Duchebag himself Dick Duchossois has always hated harness racing with a passion.
Why does this matter?
It shows just how far Arlington will go to fuck with Hawthorne and the Carey's.
Case in point: PROGRAMS!
On Friday Hawthorne's otb's had NO Saturday programs! Why, you ask?
Because all Illinois programs are printed in a shop located in the Arlington Park racetrack! :1
I am not the only Illinois horse player getting really pissed. 91zxa.1
Hawthorne's printing was done by another firm that went out of business in February.
Unable to find another company (so I'm told) they are using Arlington's print shop to do their programs. angbk
THIS IS THE BIGGEST CLUSTER FUCK IN ILLINOIS HORSE RACING HISTORY! :1
Even Hawthorne race track itself can't get simulcast programs until the morning of that day's races. :1
Arlington Park is fucking with Hawthorne again just like they have done for years. :1
More evidence that the IRB and horse racing in general doesn't care about it's core players or casual fans. 96z.p

FYI:
I tried printing from my Track Master account.
10 and 12 pp formats need anywhere from 30-50 pages to print.
6 line format is better but doesn't zoom to fill the page the way a normal program format does.
I've printed samples of all zoom settings to get the best version but even though it's better than nothing it still sucks.
I've downloaded to a tablet and laptop and tried to use the Adobe PDF program to manipulate the pdf format.
You can highlight and underline but thats about it on these files.
Again better than NOTHING but not great.
Ultimately the best format and best program is the racetrack program.
If anyone knows another service that provides a good quality printable program pdf for any price please list in this thread.
Thank you.

I used to print my programs for years. I had trouble purchasing ink refills (bottles) because walmart etc. quit selling them due to the large printer company influences, as I was told by a Walmart employee. Anyhow I have been handicapping using the on-line format. I get a piece of paper write down race # horse number(s) I like odds next to it and Driver, Then I write down my bet IE 2-34. Then I draw a line under it and write down next race. It took me awhile to get used to not having a printed program but I prefer doing what I do now. I Save alot in ink and paper LOL 1 sheet per card, Just my 2 cents... I watch races at home so I have the program online to watch during races.

who prints pps?
i thought that ended in the 90s

you should not be obsessed with must having a paper copy, and you deserve your fate if you can’t catch up with the times

Come on Luc,
This is Horse Racing 101. 11.wp
How hard can it be for a racetrack to print a fucking program? 91zxa.1
I can't Google "who's going to win the Daily Double tonight at Hawthorne?" angbk
I need a program to study otherwise I might as well go to a fucking casino and piss my money away in the slots.
Programs are a basic ingredient in the horse racing diet.
Without them customers are going to get pissed and will eventually stop playing altogether. :'(
To add insult onto injury when they do get the programs on time, they don't order enough and run out! 11.dt
So they take the last program they have and copy the Hawthorne part leaving out the rest. angbk
Thats a genius business model too. tmbz1

Get the fuck out of here Waldo! 43z.stf
Clearly you don't have the brains required to study the past performance lines and apply basic handicapping skills.
Let your device do the handicapping for you. tmbz1 ngc3 ngc3
That shit never works and you will be broke in 6 months. 91zxa.1
Anyone who claims to be content reading pp's off the screen of their phone is an assclown. 94z.sm
Serious gamblers want information they can reference without needing a magnifying glass to view it. tmbz1

Conduent prints for my company Steve give them a lead to get Hawthorne business
What company would do the job for 50 nightly programs?
Minuteman press maybe they are a franchisee

STEVE GOTTA EXPLAIN THIS ONE....

I’m glad he said he’s not the only one pissed about it. Him and the other 3 degenerates at the otb are super angry. What would Hawthorne do without their combined 10 dollars a night

Since balmoral closed I’ve bet exclusively online without a paper program and did quite well for myself guess I’m an assclown

These other clowns are just being dicks to be dicks. angbk
Hawthorne isn't happy with this situation either.
Arlington has control and thats the problem.
The number of programs is a lot more than 50 since it involves the track and all the otb's.
As far as a solution goes for me personally, it's easy.
Stay home and play from home.
I can use the laptop to view the pp's from Track Master and the desktop to open the Hawthorne website.
The point here was what to do at the track and otb when there are no programs available.
I don't take my computers to the otb like Waldo and neither does any other player I see sitting in the otb.
At a racetrack a program is not a luxury, it's a necessity.
Guess how many Waldo's I see at the track or any of the otb's?
None. angbk

According to Steve....
Waldo=someone who can handicap races without a paper program?
You need to pick and choose what you cry about more judiciously going forward
you literally cry wolf over the stupidest shit
