On Thursday February 11th, in a important race to both the early pick 5 and 1st
leg of the Rainbow 6 was the 5th race. The results and immediate aftermath lead me to have some suspicions about the integrity of this event.
It was won by an un contested winner #2, who was not picked in the top 4 by either of the handicappers, who are generally on the mark. Despite this the horse went off as the pari-mutuel favorite.
While I am accustomed to losing wagers, I find what happened after the wire a bit troubling…the jockeys of the first two horses fist- pumping…..on a mid level claiming race that had UGLY written all over it.
