Sorry if this isn't the place to ask, but you seem to know the most about these issues and are posting regularly.
Where and when is the earliest one can pick up a program for the evening?
Are they available the night before? earlier in the afternoon? Are they available at any remote locations in the Akron or Cleveland area or only at Northfield?
19 minutes, or thereabouts, is just not enough time for me to comfortably or reliably handicap a race field. I'd preferably do most of it before arriving and then watch the tote boards for odds shifts etc. at racetime ONLY. But the small amount of "morning line" info on the website is way too sparse so mostly worthless. I also live 45 minutes away so even running over to pick one up same-day is a 1.5 hour trip. Not to whine, but I usually come with groups that tend to know NOTHING about races or betting and I end up explaining things to them half of the time as well - further cutting into my capping time. I wouldn't mind if I already had most of it done.
Thanks in advance! LIR - love that movie BTW!

I should probably add that if there is an alternative to the program, like online records that are as good or better than those presented in the program - even if it takes a while to look them up, that would be very helpful as an alternative. Thanks!

Our programs on-track are available in the evening two days out, so Wednesday eve for Friday, Thursday eve for Sat, Friday eve for Monday, Saturday eve for Tuesday. Sometimes in the afternoon. Off-track availability is problematic in advance.
Also available for download from Trackmaster in a similar timeframe.

Thanks Keith. Hate to be a pest but what time are they typically available by on the two day out date? I just don't want to waste a trip and find out I'm too early.

Thanks a lot Keith. I signed up for TrackMaster and will try to download one. But if that doesn't work I'll call and pick one up instead.

Letitrideman, do you live in the Cleveland area? There are several west side locations that carry the Northfield program. There is a deli on Memphis just west of Ridge (next to National City Bank) and there is a newspaper/magazine store on Brookpark Extension in North Olmsted. Both carry the Northfield program all the time.
