How could the presiding judge not have immediately brought in the commission. This kind of abuse is a felony punishable with jail time! This person certainly not a horseman by any definition of the word should have been arrested on the spot.
And the guy who paid the driver $1,000 to stiff.
And the driver that took the cash and bet against himself.
It's the Wild West. No police. No commission. Always a blind eye and everything
gets swept under the rug.
