From the original DRF article

"Donald Groth, the chairman of Catskill OTB, which is in upstate New York, said that the winning bettor is a 29-year-old Maryland resident who placed the wagers by phone. The bettor has requested anonymity, Groth said. He said that "there is nothing to indicate that this was anything but a very good day for our customer."

"I know why you're suspicious, but that's not my job," Groth said. "I'm familiar enough with the customer that I believe this is legitimate.""

From today's NY Times

"Mr. Davis had opened the Catskill OTB account within two weeks of the Breeders Cup, had deposited money on five occasions...but had NOT MADE A BET UNTIL THAT PICK SIX, according to investigative sources." (empahasis added)

I guess Groth was familiar enough with Davis through some kind of telepathy.

Davis and the fired employee were college classmates. Pick 5 winners line up for your class action suit. The end. HP
