RE No trainer has to disclose their reason for entering or not entering a horse in a race. They do that at their own discretion.
Does this make it right that many unsuspecting members of the betting public are betting a horse with zero intention of winning a race? It would be like Vegas having a roulette wheel where 3 numbers are disabled from popping up and accepting bets on those numbers? What is the difference?

Unless I am mistaken, the racing rulebook states that all the jockeys in all the races are obligated to put forth their best effort so that their mounts attain the best finishing position possible. Am I wrong about this? And if I am right...how do the trainers get away with using actual races for "conditioning" purposes?
