Title: The finish 2nd game
Post by: PurpleSheetPicks on April 07, 2026, 03:31:23 PM
Atlee Bender today race 3 at oak grove
Disgusting
THIS is why the game is dying
Gamblers dont give 2 shits about drugs
Baseball was never as popular as the steroid era
What gamblers want is every horse trying to win
Someone needs to hold those accountable who are only trying for 2nd, or the game falls further

many times, an owner or trainer can make more money finishing second in a certain class multiple times before winning and having to move up in class. at times this can be egregious. but nobody says or does anything so it will continue. this is stuff that the public does not know. kinda like when the trainer tells the driver to go around there twice he will better next week will put you back up. public doesn't hear this and it can affect the way people bet. which is illegal.

So perhaps we do like thoroughbreds and pay the winner 60% and 2nd less

Missed gate.

Has very little time in stretch and got out driven by Putnam because...

Little to no enthusiasm with the superior horse.

Back to Hoosier  ngc3

That used to be a fineable thing, still?

No situation deems giving your opponent a head start.

You become an "A" driver and you earn respect with tucks and pulls.

You don't become that this way.

Need severe punishment and threat of the state police, FBI at all times for race tampering.

I got news for you.

They will be called on the regulatory too, the whole scope.

These are public officials.

They can be investigated under the jurisdiction of the FBI for suspicion of involvement of the crimes too. (Color of Law, Public Corruption, across state lines with wagering...)

No different of the mob having a police force on the take, dropping them a dime, enforcing, playing deaf, dumb and blind, open investigations, secret grand jury...

The bullshit will stop in 0.2 seconds.

Interesting drive to say the least. Atlee should most certainly get a suspension for that no try

Playing the part of AB to the judges...  ngc3

Wasn't leaving, went to get position before the turn.

Far turn...Sharp turn, horse's momentum was off...

Horse wasn't running a straight line in the stretch and was drifting left, avoiding a wheel collision, short stretch I just missed.

I tried (obviously  ngc3 ), wasn't a A+ drive.

"Care and Training of The Trotter and Pacer"
Bob Farrington's chapter on running the year round stable.
Reading between the lines Bob implyed that you don't win a lower condition race (N/W 1, 2, or 3) till,
(A) You have a ready replacement horse in the barn.
(B) You feel this horse is ready to get a good check in the next class up.
And that is how you win the National Driving Title and go into The Hall of Fame!

We all know this is what people do. It makes too much sense not too unless its being policed. Just like people in philly here steal with both hands from the wawa. Wawa has proven they wont stop it, so people do it. Even me lol. If people let you get away with things, you will, even good people, almost under the theory of, well everyone else is doing it
