Well, well, well. A seemingly 2 horse race at Delaware Park. The fav, a likely bounce candidate verses 3 other horses, 2 of whom couldn\'t get out of their own way in a route race on a good day, yet the two lonshots run one two, with the logical 2nd horse 3 wide in a speed duel looking over his shoulder at the top of the stretch, and the winner, supposedly cooked in that speed duel, drops out of it and comes again. How much would it take to cash the equivilent of the winners share if you ran second? Hmmmmmmmm. A $600 place bet on both longshots with a $200 exacta box?

$20,000 + $4,000 + $5,000 + $2,600. Ah, the math doesn\'t add up. Who would want to cheat just to cash a measily $31,000.

I\'m, sorry, my math was incorrect (due to my rage over the obvious.)

A $600 place bet on both of the top 2 finishers yields $51,740 and a $200 exacta box would getcha over $11,000. But like I said, who would cheat for a measily $82,000?

Great... another guy loses all his money and screams \"FIX\". Maybe you should put your money in a CD.

Your response speaks volumes .......

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

It ain\'t about a lousy $50 win bet, its about integrity. Whats $50 from $75,000.00?
$74,950.00. Open your eyes.

It is not MY response that speaks volumes...
YOU say you \"don\'t bet much any more\" (I wonder why... ran out of $$ I guess) and yet you love to post how crooked racing is with tales of jockeys stiffing horses and using buzzers. You are like all the other chalk betting OTB losers who moan about how crooked horse racing is but don\'t realize that upsets are a part of sports (and not just racing). Do you believe the Rams let the Patriots win the Super Bowl? Or that the Yankees let the Diamondbacks win the World Series? I would like to see you plop your fat ass on a horse and ride it in a race without falling off.
