You are missing the point. I know that there is plenty of talk on the backstretch. I was only using Solis and O'Neill's names just to fill in the blanks. What happened in that situation was that is looked like the rider knew the horse was better than a $25k horse but sold the trainer on believing he could get away with it so his friend could buy.

Well, if a rider did that, and it easily got around as you suggest, the rider is an f'ng idiot because his reputation on the backside would be toast.
