Race fixing / tampering / staging at Mohawk 5/18/23

[Senator Blutarsky]

AGCO never responds. I reached out to them once or twice on innocuous issues and never got response.

BigsexyCA again in mochalk 5th at 20+ to one. Not a bad few days for him.

He saved my ass Monday, had to double down the day's losses to come out a win for the night and took about 25% off last month's losses overall.  Love that horse Western Wish last year but ya can't follow them forever, I believe Mac drove at one time, nice, more Karma, good for Sorrie.

Like CA, very much all around got to know him, he suffers like us quietly is my take, when others don't play by the rules.  Transparent, mentioned many in barn sick too, they're getting better, coming around and when they do sharp as can be.

As far as him and I, I'm turning "plutonium" there, for the time being maybe for his sake, us waving from afar!

just an observation here
i notice in the agco report they want to ask filion why he buried voelz delight in race 5 at 6/5 odds
senator, the cheats at mohawk givith and they taketh away, we are just pigeons along for the ride
you must admit that western wish  does not win  if filion pulls out of the 3 hole and gets the top before the 1/2, a move that is an automatic  for a driver on that horse in that situation  if they are trying to win

its a tough game

Mcclure's horse, leaving out all cheating, health, steer angles...Mcclure's horse STRICTLY ON FORM had EVERY CHANCE to PLACE in that race. Didnt get it done...Win..an entirely different expectation.

Both horses, who hit that ex ahead of him, had LEGIT chance to win or place.

Just because the alleged lock won by 3 and a half lengths last time (after small margin advantage top of stretch) suggests more that the field that night weren't ready to defeat him.

Not the case the other night.

While I feel the pain, government and WEG complaining probably best reserved for worse scenarios than that. Hate to say it but it amounted to sucker win ticket.

Mcclure's horse WAS NEVER A 'KEY SINGLE' IN THAT RACE

This is the better viewpoint, imo.

Dear Mr. Paul (Redacted),

The Racing Officials at Woodbine Mohawk Park have received your 2 emails from yesterday concerning Race 4 and the performance of the horse All OF Me and driver Bob McClure.

Both emails have been forwarded to Senior Management at the AGCO.

As stated on the Senior Judges Report from last evening, the Race Officials reviewed the performance of the horse and spoke to driver Bob McClure and trainer Shawn Steacy, who both confirmed the horse was locked on a line and having steering issues.

We have included 2 video links.

The first is from Race 2, May 11, 2023 when the horse won. It is the back tower camera shot going around the 1st turn, down the backstretch.

https://youtu.be/CZEFGirbfBg

As is evidenced in the 1st video link, the horse is travelling straight with no apparent steering issues.

The second is from last evening’s race. Same back tower camera shot.

https://youtu.be/bUhuJT7F5aQ

As is evidenced in the second video link, the horse begins to bear in badly around the 1st turn. Does go inside 1 pylon (no violation) and continues down the backstretch with it’s head to the outside laying on the inside headpole.

In our opinion, this clearly illustrates that the horse was not the same in both races and was having steering issues last evening.

Furthermore, the mutuel pay-outs in the race do not show anything suspicious.

Having considered all this information, we have determined that there were no rules violations committed.

Respectfully submitted,

Craig Walker | Senior Race Official

Good Morning Mr. Walker and AGCO Team,

I am going to be proving (To Everyone That Matters) that the manner in which YOU ALL ("our") conducted this investigation through its conclusion is causing catastrophic harm to AGCO, and "public interest" in and not limited to Ontario but everywhere wagers are accepted on this race at Woodbine Mohawk Park.  Furthermore, this "bow" as I am referring as you "tied" on this investigation I further predict it will be "untied", AGCO Officials or higher government involvement will be deemed absolutely appropriate, then those seeking a more thorough, unbiased investigation and concluding with conspicuous necessary accountability for both driver Bob McClure, trainer Shawn Steacy, as well as the AGCO officials herein, and any other potential parties involved yet remain umentioned.

Just a heads up, if this is a "race" we are all in -  #1 your investigation to its conclusion vs #2 to have all what I've predicted will happen, sadly for y'all I'm no "maiden", my past performances do not lie, I am undefeated.  Drawing away, I'll be waiting for you after I cross the finish line to a roaring crowd of backers!  You've set the stage for Winner Take All!

Have a Team here too, and media giants across NA, very powerful "others", that cannot wait to unravel thousands of "head scratching driven performances" previously ran races at Mohawk too!

Very Good Luck to Us All,

Paul
