These bets should have been time-stamped, and it should have been clear that they were placed after the race had ended, and not been cashed. "Lucky, if somewhat dishonest"? Talk about an understatement.

So I guess everytime we see a tote delay at a racetrack, we should all try to place bets on the race after it has ended?

This happened June 28, and we are just reading about it now, and from the Paulick report, not the DRF. I think if Paulick hadn't gotten word of this, it would have never been made public.

Quite possibly, they went up to bet the 5th race and saw that the 4th race was still an option (still lit up and able to be selected) as they punched up Philly Park.

You are correct on the reporting of the incident. Very disturbing that it came out in a blog over a week after it happened and not reported by one of the big three horseracing news outlets. It just fuels the paranoia that past posting happens more often than we all know.
