I don't have enough money to gamble a ton of money but I would not be happy if I lost a bunch of money when the horse I bet on ran 2nd to a cheater and then weeks later you find it out. The gambler still loses. It really hurts guys who spend thousand on pick 6's because they could lose out on a very big ticket due to one horse.

Actually the gambler is not being screwed nearly as much as the horsemen who compete against the cheater. I'm sure you have cashed many tickets on horses that may have been running with some sort of illegal substance in its system. I'm sure that I have not won any races with a horse with an illegal substance. (Actually once and it got me 15 days and I had to give back $4k)
Let me ask you this question. If 2 weeks later you found out you had cashed a ticket and made money on a cheater, would you give it back?
They may also benefit by hitting a big pick 6 by using a cheating horse. They still get to keep the money.
I am not condoning cheating but just pointing out the other side of the 'cheating the gamblers' argument.
