Why is this such a popular opinion among horse racing fans? To be honest I am not in the game nor will I ever be, just a gambler and a fan. NY easily has the best racing consistently throughout the year. I find racing at Churchill horribly boring outside Derby & Oaks week, racing in California except for Santa Anita an utter mess, and use to like Gulfstream but that has gone down the tubes except for a few big Saturdays early in the meet.

People cheat everywhere. Its not exclusive to NY. Look at all the stuff thats gone down in Southern Cal over the past couple years.

I agree the cheating goes on everywhere. But the NY scandals are a tough pill to swallow. The jockey weights scandal really annoyed me. This type of stuff is rampant in NY and they catch someone once in a while to make it look like they are doing something. Fact is the betting pools are the largest in NY so that is where the most corruption exists. In NY you can hide money really easily in those pools.
