Well, with over 88,000 drives, I’m sure 1 or more of your items have occurred, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Dingus, no gambler can be for or against anyone, we take what is in front of us and (or should) leave our personal feelings at the door. With that said, if they're (drivers) professional athletes and this is only one of many applicable examples, then... Point shaving by a U.S. professional athlete is a form of illegal match-fixing, often resulting in severe consequences, including permanent bans from leagues (e.g., NBA) and potential prison time. These actions are considered federal crimes, often prosecuted under conspiracy or gambling laws, leading to significant fines and incarceration. League Penalties: Lifetime bans from professional sports leagues are standard, as seen in historical, high-profile scandals. Legal Consequences: Penalties for match-fixing can include, but are not limited to, multi-year prison sentences. Context: Point shaving involves players collaborating with gamblers to affect the score margin, ensuring a team does not cover the spread, regardless of the final win/loss result.

i hate to agree with Pacer but he is right, For JAMES and ANTHONY MAC AND LOUIS ROY, BOB MCLURE And many YONKERS trainers the game is in great shape and yes its in super bad shape for the racing fan but none of the above could give a crap and as long as they are walking around with huge smiles why would the game change.
 Saratoga just had their biggest opening day handle EVER! Gabe Prewitt brings record handles wherever he goes. Successful horsemen are making fortunes! The game is in great shape despite the negative Nancys false claims.

I wonder if his balls were in a vice would he admit that he knowingly drove horses juiced up, threw a race, fixed, tampered with a race, raced a sick, unwell, hurt horse that should of been pulled off the track...because that is up to criminal.
That is under his purview, responsibility.

Agree, it sure doesn't exist for the fans and they don't care. You have cheats running the place and they are pigs at the trough
Could not have a better comment than this one,,,,,DEAD ON,,,,,, PACINO would say i would take a FLAME-THROWER to these tracks if he was part of the scene,, The problem never has been the trainers or drivers and always been management who let these animals run the circus,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, When i was a kid PATRICK BIANCONE was the worlds best trainer and his horse one year ALL ALONG was so good that he would be wrapped up at the head of the stretch in group one races and he tested positive in france and never allowed back and then for years he dominated HONG KONG and one positive and barred for life and today he is real old but still trains in the US the only place that will let him earn a dishonest living.

While Triggers sentiments towards cheaters and crooks might be harsh, he's not wrong about harness racing. To many trainers, drivers, and owners have screwed the public for many years. I'm not sure who's honest and who's not, but the sport has reeked of "bad actors" for many years. But the USTA, the governing body regulating our sport has been impotent at best at doing their job. No matter how you slice it, harness racing is creating very few fans and it's reputation for corruption has destroyed it's credibility.

P.J. never takes his frustration out on the horse when he doesn't get an early seat like most drivers do!
