Who in the game can honestly say that he was "duped"...since the horseplayer is not afforded this luxury? Or do you mean by "Racing" this faceless entity which amounts to little more than just the game's "reputation"?

Meaning racing as a sport, to see who was the best of the best. For animals and people to work together to do something special on the race track.
This sport has been riddled with cheats in the past, it is nothing new, I got into it and learned fast what I was up against. I would say as time went on though it got worse and more prevalent, and as Andy said made me bitter. I now accept what is likely happening with the widespread use of chemicals in the sport I just dont invest money like I used to.
My overall point was just about everyone knows what goes on that visits this board and I feel like being indigent now that it has been confirmed by the FBI is a bit of a reach.
