Fairmont-a true story. I was at Belmont day of Firenze Fire’s Dwyer win. For those not familiar with what occurred- if my memory serves me correctly - Fire came into the race with a top around 7 or 8. His odds lingered around 5-1 and when gate opened he went off at 5-2. He won by around 9 lengths and I think he ran a negative 4! I had no economic interest in race but was a tad weary of TVG and Maggie fawning over Servis. I found what happened so offensive I sent a detailed email to NYRA, its principal executives, and the New York State Racing and Wagering Board. I complained about both the remarkable magical improvement in the horse’s performance as well as the huge amount of late money. Not surprisingly, there was zero response from NYRA. About 6 months later a received a call from an investigator from New York State Racing and Wagering Board. The investigator apologized that no one had returned my call, and in a careful manner advised that there were on going investigations but could not discuss further. The rest is history. I do not believe my missive was in any way responsible for the indictments that followed for a Servis, Navarro and others but believe if more fans complained- whether it be about magic potions, CAW unfairness etc. the geniuses that run the game might actually listen a bit more. Horseplayers have to stop being pigs being led to slaughter. That’s the state of the game.
