of course not. and i'm not even saying anyone charged in these cases we're discussing should have been charged.
now, if the trainer works him slow and then pays the clocker to put in a false time....well, now we're in new territory.
if you work the horse and he has the time, it's for the bettor to decipher.
if you have a conspiracy, bribery, and willful intent, don't be surprised if there's a knock at the door.
there's a line, they crossed it. did the guy paying the clocker think about all this? probably not. but you can bet everyone is thinking about it now.
