The drugged racehorse

[JJP]

Nobody is saying this happens every race, or every day. As a bettor there's a few instances where there's five minutes to post and you look at the board and just scratch your head. One horse is getting far more action than it should be. Not the obvious type, with great form, or the horse ridden by the leading rider or sent out by the track's leading trainer, or even the class dropper. And I'm not saying all "live" horses are drugged, either. Just that its a possible red flag.
