I spent a lot of time handicapping Delta, it was the only track I played for quite a while. When slot money was added the changes were dramatic. The one horse I remember the most was a horse named Hetia, or something close to that. Good horse, had won a Stakes race and a few others. I was playing Delta one night and noticed that Hetia was entered in a OC10000 race. I also noticed that the horse was now trained by Broberg. When Hetia came on to the track, I looked at the horse and thought "Oh, no, this horse is acting totally different than before." Set the track record for 6.5f that night. When I got home that night I looked at my computer and found the horses last 3 races and watched the Post Paraded to confirm what I thought. In those 3 races, the horse was calm, but looked on the toes. Nice look for a horse. What I saw that night was a horse that was jumping out of his or her skin. Looked like a Meth addict that had just gotten a fix. I think Boberg got 4 or 5 races out of the horse, won all but one, then the horse was moved back to the previous trainer. Why the move back, the horse was winning? Come to find out the owners did not like the "change" in the horse either. Now what he is doing might not be illegal, but it is not in the best interest of the horse.

The dramatic changes were that suddenly horses were running speed figures 15 to 25 pts higher than before, then would go back to normal. large fluctuations like that are normal, but when it happens to often, you have to think "What's going on here?"
