    Indy news reporting horse fixing and casino cheating at Indiana Downs
    What New News is this? It took them a long time to get it.

    Of course everyone has denied the fact.

        What the hell does horse fixing( Fixed what) and casino gambling have to do with each other?

        My first thought is that jockeys fixed a race but after looking at the purse structure and understanding the ability of those jockeys to make it somewhere else ,this is either misleading or they are completely ignorant. ( Not shocking )

        As too the casino gambling, we can only assume that they rigged the machines to not pay out as well as regulated.

              Always remember, even if the race is fixed, you might be on the right side.

                Whats the difference between fixing a race .. and trainers putting a horse into a race .. knowing that it is not fit .... All races are "fixed" to some extent - the trick is to find the horses that are actually in it to win it ...

                    Holt,

                    Race Fixes???

                    C'mon you guys, do you realize how many people would be involved to fix one race let alone a multitude of races?
                    This is Fantasy crap .
                    Fix A race? I saw it happen!
                    Fix RACES. IMPOSSIBLE.

                    Stop believing the crap you hear from morons that have NO idea .

                                Every single racetrack has fixed races. No doubt, I have to laugh when they stiff horses. I see it all the time.

                                  Indiana Downs is my favorite track. I have expressed this on the forum many times.

                                      wherever there can be a dollar wagered, there will be fixing/corruption... horses, football, baseball, boxing, you name it

                                        Although I know I could never change your mind and you will think I'm an idiot,You are truly mistaken.Tracks with very small purses breed corruption because there simply isn't enough money to go around, but tracks with decent too large purses are not the places where this is happening.Trainers , jockeys ,and agents are not going to risk a solid livelihood for a chance to cash a bet.
                                        I was at Bowie on Valentines day and saw that race live. Odd betting patterns and skewed payouts is what got those guys caught not anything obvious within the race.
                                        Again, I know you do not agree and that's cool. Just wish I could explain certain things that happen in a race to you so you would understand it for what it really was instead of what it seemed to be to the betting public.And because horses get checked, jocks make dumb mistakes or feel the need to ease up on them or they just run poorly, anyone that bet is going to naturally feel as though they got screwed.
                                        Could never blame anyone for feeling that way but its like seeing a player drop a ball and thinking the game is fixed.Or Vince Carter in game 2 missing 2 free throws and he bet on Boston.Sure looks like it but probably is not the case.
                                        Either way ,good luck.

                                          I don't believe in FIXED races. That indicates eveyone in the race is on the know....doesn't happen....What happens on rare occasions is an individual will hold back a horse to try and cash at a later date for bigger odds....he still ususally misses...I would have no hesitation betting the horses

                                                    Might not be the right word to call it fixed races, but ive been around many instances where multiple parties were involved to "stiff" their horses setting it up for one of their buddies.. I was in a win picture of one of them. i think guys stiffing horses is far worse than if a entire race was fixed.

                                                      I can only speak for myself but I was never approached,was party too,or heard about that in any race I ever participated in.

                                                            One of several reasons I walked away 10 years ago.A very few trainers do ,most do not.
                                                            Nothing worse then getting beat a head by some piece of crap trainer and vet that I knew was taking an edge.That's how clean baseball guys felt ,I am sure, when they saw the cheaters prosper.
                                                            Then next thing you know, your owner fires you, ( was on the racing commission), and gives his horses to the cheating piece of crap.
                                                            That happened to me.
                                                            Do you think I was pissed? Couldn't prove it and it was sour grapes if I talked.
                                                            But I knew.

                                                            Rather think of the good times I had and there were many.

                                                            Thinking of that makes me angry.
