you really wonder what the hell is going on in this game today. the jockeys paying off for mounts has been high spread for this whole century. then all the ped's that were given to the horses and now partially banned. then you have the guys like Navarro and company that were hitting the horse with super-duper rocket fuel. and what about the highly respected trainers that hire traveling veterinarians from Kentucky to come once or twice a month to inject every joint in every horse in their barns.
just because shockwave and tapping is legal depending upon the time before the race doesn't make it right, do you guys really think that the vet that does the injecting doesn't run to the window and place the unknowledgeable bettor at a distinct pari-mutuel disadvantage every time he plunks down his money.
as it turns out, the racing game protects the big trainers that are the star of the show along with their high-paying owners, and the game shoves it up the ass of the smaller player that is the lifeline of the game along with the smaller owners and trainers. instead of limiting these big guys, they turn the game in their favor and penalize the smaller guy.
