We've all seen what looks like a tag team effort from uncoupled horses trained by the same trainer but for different owners or some jockey that normally herds and pins horses conveniently allowing his main client's favored horse to have a clear path when he had him blocked.

That is definitely a side effect of a Jockey so desperate to get into a big barn that he/she is willing to kick back 25% to the Trainer or his wife/relatives. This practice should definitely be stopped. And what gets me more than anything is that these people demanding kickbacks often don't need the money. They are extremely successful. Make me sick
