Daily Racing Form Review
Let’s be clear from the start about the Daily Racing Form app – it’s an American product and it’s very much geared towards the US market. So much so, that the app is no longer available on the UK Apple App Store. However, the Android app can still be downloaded and the mobile website accessed from a mobile browser.
Don’t expect results from the 3:20 at Lingfield, the latest odds on The Derby or directions to the stands for Ladies Day at Ascot. What you’ll get instead is all the information on what’s happening across the pond, with results, news, racecards, live odds from Saratoga, Del Mar, Gulfstream and more. If the Kentucky Derby is more your idea of racing than the Grand National, then this is the app for you.
Appearance & Features
The look is simple, even puritan, with a white background and only as much info as you would need on each page. It’s not a bright, colourful screen that pops up, but this is all to the good really as it’s actually super easy to use and navigate around as a result.
The app is all about providing you with vital stats without too many frills. The Entries section is great. Once a race card is drawn it will instantly show up here. Real-time results are streamed directly to the app so you can keep up to date on payouts from across the US. Unfortunately, Daily Racing Form do not hold a UK gambling license and betting accounts are only available in Eligible States. However the app still remains useful for latest news, expert opinions and to compare the odds being offered in the US with those being offered on the UK betting apps.
Live Odds are also useful as it gives users access to the tote in real-time for any race at any track. This even includes visibility into the WPS pools and Exacta-Daily Double Probables so you can get the best price wherever you are.
One element that’s particularly good is DRF Live, where you can find handicappers and reporters providing insights into the tote board, observations of the paddock and exotic betting suggestions all in real-time as the MTP heads towards zero.
Race Analysis at the major tracks is now taken directly from the DRF print issue, so you’re not getting an abridged version. Another new function that came with the latest update is Best Bet for every track so you see what the top choice is from the publication’s handicappers. There’s also now a Race Chart for every race. The Closer Looks section is another feature we really liked as it gives a great pre-race breakdown for each runner.
