Happens everywhere just not Yonkers. Top drivers at tracks give each other breaks all the time
I realize that--Bartlett and Stratton-are geniuses at it. However-im looking at races from all over--eg check out Europe or Down under racing--its far more competitive-no holes,no Indian files. How many people would go to Tbred races if most races were run in Indian file??You see jockeys pulling horses back to give other jockeys"holes'?
I know in harness racing you need to let a driver in a hole to"get him out of the way" or to use him to get cover---BUT thats not what is happening here---its done to help each other make $$$-and the gamblers have no real clue as to what exactly transpires before racing--ie its predetermined=and thats what im posting about.
Thats why Dexter Dunn-is an excellent driver--hes learned to think and learn strategy--wasnt handed to him by driver "assists" by driving where very little of this BS goes down.He will have a field day here once other drivers give him "assists".
