Roughly 15 years ago a similar story broke at Philly park-- and it wasn't like you couldn't figure it out, because certain guys (I think Brandon Simpson, a leading bug, was one) were making weight at Philly (like 108), then coming in overweight (like 113) that night at the Meadowlands. Somebody finally made a stink, the clerk of scales at Philly resigned and left for a track in the Midwest, and a week later Simpson took his tack to the same track.

I would be surprised if this turns out to be anything significant at NYRA-- more likely Spitzer and the Canadian's minions stirring the pot. But you never know.
