The ''Daily Racing Form'' (DRF) is a tabloid newspaper founded in 1894 in Chicago, Illinois, by Frank Brunell. The paper publishes the past performances of race horses as a statistical service for bettors on horse racing in North America.〔(Corporate history at the ''Daily Racing Form'' official website )〕 In cooperation with the National Thoroughbred Racing Association and the National Turf Writers and Broadcasters Association, the ''Daily Racing Form'' selects the winners of the annual Eclipse Awards. In 1922, the ''DRF'' publishing company was sold to Moses Annenberg's Triangle Publications, which would eventually be owned by Walter Annenberg. The ''Daily Racing Form'' currently is owned by Arlington Capital Partners (since late 2007), and is based at 708 3rd Avenue in New York City. The ''DRFs publisher is Steven Crist, a former editor of the ''Harvard Lampoon'' and a reporter and columnist for the ''New York Times''. Several ''DRF'' employees have included cartoonist Pierre Bellocq (aka: Peb), columnist Joe Hirsch, and longtime business manager Louis Iverson. Iverson reported to Annenberg for most of his tenure and was described as a manager who "threw nickels around like they were manhole covers".〔(horseraceinsider.com )〕 The ''Daily Racing Form'' currently publishes 30 editions daily. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daily Racing Form」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
