As Jay Privman tweeted, 'Not defending what's gone on with Masochistic, but I remember when Shoemaker & Charlie Whittingham would operate similarly and no one ever questioned them.'

And of course like every other wrong-headed notion about International racing, no one is getting 'banned for life' for setting up scores. Obviously they weren't following Barney Curley's exploits last year. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...ghlight=curley

There are some legitimate differences with the Curley coup, mostly in that the public wasn't taken for a ride, but rather the bookmakers.

That said, when the bookmakers lose, the UK racing industry loses money too.
