Last week, Britney Dillon/Dean Eckley had to horses in the race, Wilfong and Smolin driving. Smolin fires out with and Wilfong cover him up quickly. Top of the lane Wilfong suddenly can't stay on the rail and is in the 2 1/2 path quickly. Smolin under and all out beat drive comes through and goes off with Warren's horse.
Tonight, after one of the aforementioned set-up horses is claimed, there is only one, and Smolin does the driving. Without help, he is lost and comes first over to finish well back as odds-on. Warren, the obvious play was too far back and could only rally for 2nd.
And Tim Tetrick punches horses...right!
This type of cheating on the scale of 0 to 9357 is more like a level 2173 on the harness racing problem scale, but in most businesses it would have been solved and eliminated years ago.
And we are sad that decoupling may be in the future?
