Daily Racing Form Acquires Publishing Assets of Sports Eye, Inc.
 
DRF to Continue to Publish Complete Line of Sports Eye Horse Racing, Harness Racing and Sports Publications

New York, NY (November 15, 2005) – Daily Racing Form announced today that it has acquired the publishing assets of Port Washington, NY-based Sports Eye, Inc., a 41-year-old company that produces a variety of thoroughbred racing, harness racing and sports information publications.

Founded in 1964, Sports Eye publishes the Daily Racing Program, several New York OTB publications, the Daily Harness Racing Program, Harness Eye newspaper, College and Pro Football Weekly, Sports Form and The Platinum Sheets weekly, a college and professional basketball publication. Daily Racing Form, the 111-year-old national daily newspaper for thoroughbred horseplayers, will continue to publish these Sports Eye titles.

Said Brent Diamond, CEO of Daily Racing Form: "Sports Eye has done a tremendous job producing publications for the casual and new horseplayer, which is an area that we haven't focused on with the Daily Racing Form products. We believe there is an opportunity to provide information to the full range of horseplayers. This acquisition will allow us to do so."

"This acquisition also provides us with the opportunity to extend our franchise into sports beyond horse racing, which was our plan when we acquired Daily Racing Form in 2004."

"This is the type of transaction we envisioned when we acquired DRF. Sports Eye reinforces our existing horseracing business and provides an entry to other areas of sports publishing that we can continue to build upon both organically and by acquisition." said Daniel L. Black, Partner at The Wicks Group of Companies, LLC.
