"B" had not occured to me.
In the long run, our success as a company depends on the success of ALL the people who use our data, including bettors, and aside from integrity issues, screwing a group to help one individual is not in our own best interest.
There's actually a "C", which is publishing a wrong number or numbers to keep the public from betting a horse you yourself want to cash a bet on. I know of only one case where that was done, long long ago (pre-Thoro-Graph), by a figure maker who wanted to keep one big bettor from killing his price on a horse owned by said figure maker racing at Philadelphia Park. Richie bet the horse anyway. And there were other people who knew about it, one of whom lives in Puerto Rico.
If you need a last name to go with Richie, you weren't in the game in the 80's. Annoying as he was (and probably still is), Schwartz is a first ballot entry to the Hall of Fame for horseplayers.
