What the driver did in the example race was not illegal, he's just trying to make a living, but I can say for sure his group or family didn't bet that horse to win.
My Point
1. Rock Out had never raced for $20,000 in its career.
2. 5 years ago the Top Purse at SD 5/8 on Saturday night would have been $10,000 for the feature. Rock Out would have been racing for a purse of $2000, it's now a huge difference because of slot money.
3.Strategy, I've got the 2 hole tonight with no chance to win, grab the wood when the gait opens, let everyone go 2 and 3 wide on the turns suck up nice behind the leader and let the horse's who raced die in the lane, grab the check collect the bets go home happy.
If you have time check Scioto Downs this coming Saturday race 6
almost same horse's, lets see what happens.
