So there were some fun stories told about excerpts from the Billy Walters book that were a tab funny and sort of a "No way" eye roll and head shake. About a High Profile Pro Golfer sending $100K bets in on NBA Games he knows nothing about while he is in the middle of a tournament at Pebble Beach. About a Tank Sized ex NFL Super Bowl Winning Offensive Lineman sitting in the high profile chair at the High Roller table at an Atlantic City Roulette Table when they (the House) thought it was good for business but he was really a Trojan Horse.

But there were other stories half told or for those who know a little more you don't really want to know. Before online Betting was spread Nationwide. Before every casino had a Sports Book a lot of those bets had to place via Books in New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit etc etc. Odds shopping was the norm.

Shady Characters were part of the Team and if somebody got out of line, skimmed, didnt pay, or just plain lied a Discipline Team was sent to the field. You know, Whitey Bulger style. Baseball Bats, a little rope, some duct table. This is no joke. Is this who Racing wants to Partner with? Groups that once they see there is maybe $100,000,000 of large and average player money swirling around in the Pools over a 90-180 day period. Money that they can take all for themselves?

Now we are introducing the Worlds Best Cyber Hackers. Expert Voucher Counterfeiters. Slight of hand artists, etc etc But the visionary's of racing are smarter than all this....or so they think. They have Vegas style internal controls and surveillance in place? You're an idiot if you believe that. When Jorge Navarro ships in Sharp Azteca to blow away the field on Derby Day in the Pat Day Mile and later go to Saratoga and have Shanzalot crush another field from the 13 hole in the Amsterdam at 6/5 off a 1X allowance win. Racing didnt catch this guy the Feds did. When a snitch, snitched on a snitch after he decided to save his own skin from something else. Racing didn't have a clue or looked the other way.

If the Racing people want to convince everyone that none of these type of people are controlling the Pools after Tracks GAVE THEM A REBATE DISCOUNT, then release their names. Are they Horse Owners, Track Board members, Advisory Members? No Conflicts of Interest there. The Sport of Kings has been turned into The Sport of CLOWNS. They are spiraling the Sport down the drain. A game many of us grew up with and loved. There is NO TRANSPARENCY and proper controls. The guys I previously mentioned are smarter than them. They just dont want to admit it, Well guess what just like our gut instincts tell us the "I think the 4 is Live, those same gut instincts are telling us the game is dirty and getting dirtier until changes are made...
