People, if they even hear about this, aren't going to change their mind about the sport because of this. And it's not like we're going to lose any potential new fans or bettors because of it.
On the flip side, Hollywood Park let a horse run and eventually win a race the other day that he wasn't eligible for. That thread has gotten zero responses. I'd say something like that is far worse towards the public perception of the sport than something like this.

Very true. I have to look back as I know that I bet on that race and you are 100% right, it is amazing that there is not incredible outrage over that incident. How could the Hollywood Park officials miss that? The real outrage is that anyone who bet that race that ripped up their tickets were cheated, yet it is not as if Hollywood will refund the money. Nothing can damage the sport more then cheating which is perceptively sanctioned.That is a real issue, a true theft.
Yet, this knucklehead thinks we should be outraged by a guy publically stating, justifiably, that he believes someone put his life in danger. Incredible!
