It would have to be an autotote employee with access to the file(s) and just added 2 live tickets to the will pays for ALL in the 8th.
It was done before, it this thing paid $30K, nobody bats an eye.
Ticket holder hasn't come forward to cash yet.
To me it seems real suspicious.

if i recall correctly from the bc scandal the info on live tickets is transfered after the 4th leg. thus the single-single-single-single-all-all structure used in the bogus bc tickets.
there would be no way for an autotote employee to manipulate tickets once the 5th leg was run. the existence of a physical ticket which will carry a bar code showing when and where it was sold is another reason to distinguish this from 2002.
i suspect autotote, having been burned already, has additional security in place.
and anyone smart enough to beat whatever security is in place would also probably be smart enough not to try this on a big day. they have chris harn's example to look back on.
