unfortunately they are not machines. They have aches and pains, like any athlete, some times it effects their performance. When any athlete has a bad game or not was is usually expected, does that mean they were trying to cash a bet on the other team? Do drivers screw up, of course, they are only human( no wisecracks). Its horse racing, like any other sport, shit happens. Not saying some dont take some liberties. No different then any other business, organization, religion, sport. You could look at any race, harness or thoroughbred and spin a conspiracy into it. If the race does not go the way we think it should, right away its someone fixing a race to cash a bet. If you think it is so corrupt, dont bet or dont participate in anyway. If I thought that, I would bail. The bigger issue is the drug cheats.
