Controversial Thread Alert! Super Trainers. Good for the game? Bad for the game?

A hiatus for w while would give tracks a change to quietly review the usual suspects that leech off the game and remove them low key.

It's more about explosions, big improvements off claim, and somewhat erratic form. It's hard to know, and I am not going to name names here who I suspect, but I will keep an eye on how their horses run, and whether they run at all. Like a lot of people, I wonder if there are more to come, just as like them I have no inside information.

I hope this is the start of cleaning the game up and getting rid of the people that are effectively ruining this game. Only time will tell, but I think it's fair to say it's a good start. I don't play much where Navarro races, but Jason Servis's act has been infuriating me for a LONG time. It would be nice to be able to handicap with at least a minimum of suspicion.

Well said.

I think there was definitely a wagering aspect to this that was part of the scheme, maybe its already been done, but a thorough investigation on some of these magical performances needs to happen in terms of betting patterns.
