Is racing doing this right?

I don't support sympathizers/indirect supporters of terrorism.

Interesting questions. Tough assigning points/percentages to the various issues -- I could have/would have gone way over 100 if it hadn't kept me honest.

Very tough. I started with Integrity getting like 80pts and by the end it was still #1 but down to 40%.. Horse health? If it would have been worded horse safety but horse health? Do I really care if a horse has a cold or a quarter crack?

You do if he or she is yours and is going to miss a race because of it!

I don't think racing - as to how it relates specifically to fans/bettors only - has much of an actual integrity problem Freddy.

You have a few trainers at every circuit who have an edge and seem to be getting over - but it's no secret who most are. There's not much you can do to stop that beyond drug testing. Some athletes and their trainers are getting over in all the other sports as well.

I don't believe people are betting after the bell. Canceling tickets after the start of the race is harder now than before. I don't see anything really suspicious that looks like possible race fixing ever.

Yeah that part of it was especially interesting.

I'd love to see results some day.

Good luck, Pat.

Results will come along eventually. A few interesting findings through the results so far. MANY thanks to those who took the time to complete it!
