Nothing like watching fixed races.
I’ve also got a bit our a sour taste in my mouth because most of the horses ending up in “kill pens” (not really, no license to ship to slaughter but horrible conditions) are coming out of delta and evd depending on the season. We are trying to help, but it’s an uphill battle.
I should say most of the thoroughbreds, not horses

Bet all the long shots! The jockey race is usually the sixth or seventh race.

How did I never hear about this?
quote:
On January 11, 1990, Jockey Sylvester Carmouche rode a 5-year-old named Landing Officer through a thick fog to a twenty-four length win. Landing Officer had gone off at 23-1 odds.[1] After the race it was determined that Carmouche had hid Landing Officer in the fog as the other eight horses in the race circled the track and the jockey was subsequently charged with felony theft by fraud.[2] Carmouche was convicted of the charges on March 14, 1990[3] and he was subsequently banned for ten years from state tracks by the Louisiana Racing Commission[4] but the ban lasted just eight years.[5] Aaron Kuriloff writing for ESPN put Sylvester Carmouche 11th of the top 25 cheats, frauds and scams perpetrated in sports around the globe.
