A bit much.... Why would it be a big deal if his brothers like to enjoy horseracing as well. Just on the other side of the fence. So what if they cash a bet on his very few winners?

I'm not sure you totally understand what's being implied. . .

Apparently you're unfamiliar with the Matties family "practices".. This isn't innocuous stuff we're talking about.

I know the guy... talk to him occasionally, and to be honest, he ain't smart enough to put one over. This is kind of ridiculous. His horses go off at 30-1 in every race because they're terrible.

This part I don't understand (and I know nothing of the Matties family) - what wagering accounts/wagering sites does the TRPB have access to?

And why does Hayward say, "We're not saying there was any race-fixing or anything like that going on."

Isn't that exactly what they are saying?

But seriously ... what about the account access? Doesn't that worry folks?
