At first glance this guy looks about as innocent as OJ but then you have to start wondering.

He was so clever that he planned this all out weeks in advance. Obviously, had an accomplice on the inside and somehow rigged a complex network of computers to allow a post-race wager that enabled him to cash in on a sure thing.

Very impressive.

But he was also stupid enough (or cheap enough)not to spend a few extra bucks on the tickets and select 2 or 3 horses in the first four legs to avoid making it look so obvious. That would have cost a few thousand rather than a few hundred bucks but, big deal, he knew he could not lose. And after the 2 longshots had already won, he should have known there was no need to play more than 1 ticket since he was almost guaranteed a big payoff regardless of the outcome of the last 2 races.

Very stupid.

This guy is either the dumbest smart guy on the planet or the luckiest stupid pick-6 better of all time.

I cannot imagine a worse scenario for the racing industry. The integrity of every wager past and future now comes into question. The ridiculous reaction from the NY official is mind-boggling. This thing is going to take on a life of its own. The pressure to downplay what happened is tremendous so be prepared for all sorts of spinning on various fronts.
