Sport of kings indeed—not necessarily noble. We're playing their game. We get it their way, not ours, despite the presence of Burger King Saturday. As a handicapper, I accept that and factor in the connections' shenanigans. As a fan and booster, I share the unease of this discussion.
A certain mystique might be part of racing's charm, but not to the extent that the whole thing is fixed beyond observable comprehension. The game is confounding enough played fair.
I'd hope to avoid some of the most egregious and opaque shenanigans by playing big races with the most scrutiny. This thing unfolded with as much attention as the sport can get. In that sense it wasn't particularly deceptive, even if it wasn't particularly ethical.
