If they had made just one winning ticket, and shown some of the kind of creativity you mentioned, they most likely would have gotten away with it. It was the six winning tickets from the same place that was the tip-off. And, the myth that Volponi making them the only winner is also false, as had even Medaglia D'Oro won and there been say ten total the six in one place still would have been a red flag. Especially THAT one place.

Creativity... ha! I loved his reasoning after being caught "Banks Hill was my best bet of the day at 16-1... and I knew Rock was losing so I singled this 50-1 shot", etc.
Interesting... I heard it was the UWS NYCOTB they had been running "test" tickets on?
Also, was it ever determined IF MDO had won (or another favorite), how many winners there would have been? That BC was before P6 willpays were posted.
Pool integrity is a pet peeve of mine... it blows my mind how poor the technology is in the mutuel world.
