I do not care who drove the horse he was the best in the race he won what the problem she drove her own horse no race fixing or cheating what is wrong with you people what world are you living in.
Many of these lady races there's one or two drivers that are pretty dominant . Random draw with no horses going to any specific driver will even the playing field.imo
I seem to have a different view of this being labeled as race fixing. I meN it I saw definitely illegal IF warren is playing with the post positions but I’ve always felt that no matter what, you really have to get to the driver of the horse for it to actually be race fixing. In my mind race fixing is when a driver tries to tamper with the controls in his hands to intentionally not win or cause other horses to not win. Rigging the draw is definitely illegal and tampering but not to the degree of actual race fixing as no matter what post position you fix for any horse, the driver still controls the outcome. I remember about 20 years ago at balmoral park Connie was rigging the draws for the track owners and management to always gave the rail in stakes races. But in the end, most of the time the horse still lost. Race tampering versus race fixing is two different things.
As a bettor, i really dislike these races. Ive noticed some trainers that drive have their horses seem to jump up in them. I know the same goes on to some extent in all races but these appear to me to be more problematic. Less scrutiny with these fields. I wonder if big m has been accepting of this because big $ win payoffs increases probability of p6, p5 carryovers. Nicole d, cano, sheridan etc. Early on hannah m was very suspect. She was grossly overrated imo as to her skill driving.Gsl should be limited to a few cards yr or at least only one clown car race a card. And, the real bad drivers should have to wear a large bright orange fake nose so is the betting public is aware of their skill level.
