But if it was a set-up, one would expect controlled fractions and maybe horses sitting 1-2-3 early, or similar. The fact that the last half was about 4 seconds slower than the first half, with the top 2 coming from far back, makes me question it was fixed.
The drunk $100 wagering theory has some credibility.
It would sure be nice if the Commission eventually released its findings. I am not too hopeful.
