I am embarrased by the racing game in general when owners flock to these guys and then defend them without having any idea whether or not the guy they are defending is guilty or not. The fans defense is even more laughable since they really have no idea what is going on. I believe that there are a few guys taking a big edge and think that anyone who thinks this not be true is naive or stupid. While it is probably a much lower number than some believe the fact that it exists at all is bad, And the sad truth is that the racing commissions and tracks and other bodies meant to police the sport are mostly woefully underfunded and staffed with less than stellar lineups of investigators.

Very well said Chuck. I find it hilarious that they dismiss bettors so quick, when in reality, they are probably the most likely to spot the suspicious changes taking place nearly every day around the country.
Some of Wolfson's stuff was laughable, and I was a little disappointed Steve basically just gave him a pulpit from which to speak. No phone calls?
