Who holds the clockers in the mornings and odds makers accountable?

Of course its not the first time its happened nor will it be the last.

Im still completely confused and need an answer to my question. Why if they are sitting on a monster in this filly did they feel the need to conceal her talent to the betting public? What did they gain? She still opened up even money.

Im just going to chalk this up to two things.

It was a well conceived plan to hide her talent from the people not in the know and a poorly conceived plan to hide it from people in the know.

And the reason why they did this is unknown

First of all this was not a strong group of horses. Why that isnt obvious at a quick glance at the program is telling. Secondly, trainers are trying to get their horses ready to run and obviously McPeek did his job. The horses work pattern was certainly good enough to show that something was there as she had two bullets at CD and was always one of the quickest workers every morning she worked. 101 is a very good work for a 2 yo filly btw and Round pen pointed out the 103 was on a slow, sloppy track. Not to mention that she had only worked on the dirt and was racing on the polytrack.

You can say a lot of things about McPeek, but the thought that this was some put over horse is ludicrous.

I do agree the M/L was pretty bad but certainly not for the reasons that you think.
