So do I. But nothing ever came of the Erica Betia murder nor the Pedro Ortega murder, nor the Thunder Gulch buzzer incident, nor the "amazing move" by Macho Uno at Suffolk, nor the $24 payoff on my $60 post time exacta this summer, to name just a handful of crimes commited in this game because of blind stewards and the "kentucky good ole boys" who control this game.

I have retired from betting. Did not pay any attention to this year's Breeders' Cup except to see how much coverage the drunk bugler got (one race- imaging my surprise!)

I wish I could say I am glad I don't play anymore, but I am not. My heart goes out to all who got screwed on racings biggest day. And you know what? Less than 10% of the population plays this game and thats why you will not hear about this or other crimes in racing on the 6 o'clock news. And you never will. Why? Because the good ole boys know its bad for racings image. Imagine my surprise.
