This is actually very good news. I've been screaming to everyone that would listen (including a producer at HBO Real Sports) about past posting ever since Monarchos won the Florida Derby. If you think about it, the last thing the tracks want is to find out this is happening-- the money isn't coming out of their pockets (in fact, whoever is doing it is "betting" a lot of money), they would be hurt by the scandal, and if anything is discovered, they might even be liable. I'm not saying it's a cover up-- just that they were never going to try too hard to find out.
If you go back to where this started, they actually gave the fox the keys to the hen-house-- they let a bettor go into the system to"check the pools" for his "computer betting system", a system that purportedly was retuning a profit of something like 28% on handle over two years at Gulfstream while hurting his own prices by betting huge amounts.
