Did this happen in Fla.?
Our betting machines in Calif. turn off when that bell rings.
You can't get a bet down, at least not at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park or Del Mar.
I agree with you that this is a serious problem, and it is destroying people's confidence in the sport.
I have heard several reports such as yours, and I have no doubt they are all true.
If I knew that people were betting after the race started, unless I was doing the same thing, I don't think I would bet.
It seems this thing has really gotten out of control since the offshore betting began.
I know some of our officials here in Calif. are going to try to stop this in Calif. I don't know all the reasons why, but there is a lot of talk, and it is serious.
PS
Can you bet Calif. races at 6 furlongs after the bell?
If so, please email me, and I'll be in Fla. asp. LOL
