The short answer is NO. There is a recounting of a ringer named Lebon circa 1977 who ran a buried race on dirt before crushing a field on turf at 57-1 with Sheets players cleaning up.
It later came out the horse was actually Cinzano, a champion 3yo in Uruguay.
They had no knowledge of the chicanery and won as a result of deduction. Pages 279-281 in The Odds.
