Whale's past post sets off alarm

It would be nice to know how often that it does happen...the appearance of more impropriety does not help the game.

I've decided that I'm OK with it, as long as people are only allowed to wager late on a losing horse.

Well it would also be ok if I (and only I) could get my bet in right up until they get to the sixteenth pole...

I still would have lost the BC Sprint this year...

We're talking about a few tickets entered a couple moments after the break - It's not like the guy watched the break, then figured out which horses he wanted and then started placing wagers - The bets were placed. In the grand scheme, really seems to me to be a non issue... Time to put away the tin foil hats - no conspiriacy here

He is claiming that they were a half mile into the race and he was still getting his tickets punched....give me that opportunity and I gotta believe that my win percentage would go up.

Ooops...I read this part:

>>>Lenny Vangilder, a spokesman for Fair Grounds, confirmed that wagering was not stopped when the race began. He said that the stop wagering mechanism the stewards use malfunctioned, and that the mutual manager stopped wagering 15 seconds after the race began.<<<


And glanced over this part:

>>>Maloney said that he wagered well after that, saying that he was placing wagering at least a half-mile into the 1 1/16-mile race<<<

And he still couldn't pick a winner

Seriously, You'd think it would be easy enough to figure out how often the system *hiccups*...
