Sign of the Times
With staff and space reductions, the paper will not publish handicap charts and results.

Because of ongoing reductions to The Times Sports staff and space for news in the Sports section, the handicap charts and results from Del Mar will not be included in the daily sports report. There will be coverage of major events during the seven-week meeting. In addition, other weekly features that have been eliminated are the Gearing Up package on motor racing, Teeing Off on golf and Corner Kicks on soccer.
The Times handicapping and results section was crappy anyway. It didn’t show full results, and was spartan to begin with. The Daily News has a much better section, and the DRF is the standard anyway. The one thing you rarely see around Hollywood Park or Santa Anita is the Times Sports page.
