yes I laugh at you because you have offered no facts. I handicapped that race pretty closely and was on the mark. It is posted in the other thread. No one tipped me off that Currency Trader was the play. I liked the look of his form and speed, and the fact that Baze was riding him instead of the outside horse. I was suspect of the FPX form translating to SA for these cheap horses. its actually way more absurd to accept your idea that it was a thrown race and that people like Migliore participated in it, than it is to accept that it was legit. btw, how many other races were thrown yesterday in your opinion? and even if you are correct that it was thrown, how does throwing one race lead to catching the pick six? how exactly did all the jockeys that supposedly participated in the fix actually make a profit? saying you watched races for 25 years means nothing to me if when you make statements like this. it reminds me of the oldtimers that have been at the track for 50 years and you see them muttering to themselves when they lose talking about crooked jockeys, fixed races, etc. always some big conspiracy is the reason that they lost.
I'm not naive enough to think that cheating is never part of the equation, but to imply that it involves almost the entire jockey colony and that you are so sharp that you can catch it just by observation of the race is preposterous.
reminds me of another poster we have that realized that a buzzer was used by a jockey just by looking at the results chart! we sure have some sharpies on here.

I didn't say Mig was involved.I said it was an illusion to think he was gunna get up when they gave that gift of a clear lead away to Currency Trader.That was the fake race yesterday(the 6th.)This is why they get away with throwing races: people don't(in their heart) want it to be true.I understand that,but the facts are that nobody at all was interested in going with this horse for the 1st quarter mile.This was not a race without early speed.They have to be atleast close up to the front,or they simply don't win races.So,to not be interested in pushing the early pace at all is opposite of these horse's ability. It's ugly,but it was a fake race from the start. Look,you had 3 days to cap that race.If that is the way you thought it was gunna go early on,then you're a genius.Any race that you give a need the lead type an easy lead like that is gunna result in making money(if you know it's gunna be alone like that.) You don't think it's an advantage to know that information? A 6-1 SINGLE? Come on.We would all love that.To me,that's an obviously thrown race,but it's a free country.If you think it was fair,then you have that right.It's not what I saw.I saw a huge edge given out to one particular horse.
