I am sure they would never stiff an odds on favorite in a cheap purse race in order for an associate to make a betting score that far exceeds the 10% they were to make on the purse. I am also sure they would never ride in a manner to burn out or interfere in any way a contending horse when one or the other is on a live horse and theirs not so much.
The above NEVER EVER could possibly happen under any circumstances nor has it ever happened in the history of the sport. The perception that there is potential for such shenanigans by allowing both to ride in the same race is simply nonsensical thinking.
