Race 1, Ferndale, 5 furlong Allowance for Arabian nonwinners of 3. Going around the far turn, the odds on favorite is on the lead, suddenly veers way out and pulls up. He's out of the camera angle entirely, and apparently out of the race. So much for the favorite. Then down the home stretch, here comes the favorite again rolling down the lane and wins by a couple of lengths. It was the damndest thing.

LOL if you think the Bigger tracks don't cheat. They are as bas, if not worse than the fair/bullring tracks.

big track trainers drug, but with those purses, more money to be made racing to win than pulling horses to set up betting coups.

Dude these aren't even thoroughbreds. They are Arabians. This is not small track its a county fair

I once saw a mule go off at 1/9. A MULE. Break and Just bite the mule next to him then stop running.


You betting Arabians and mules

Speaking of cheating, watch jockey on #6. he tried to lose more ground on the turn, and then held the horse tight and wouldn't let him run. LoL


Jockey claims he had heatstroke
