Assiniboia asks provincial regulators to conduct a “full and complete review” of race 5 July 20, when King Witt finished second under jockey Sheldon Chickeness after having big lead at top of stretch.

Wowzers. You want to give these guys the benefit of the doubt, but at some point the excuses don't matter. I've seen some shady looking rides but this is the oak tree of shady.

Regarding the scene from Easy Money, two trivia questions for the hardcore harness fans : [1] What was the real name of Hoover Downs? [2] What driver did Joe Pesci tackle out of the bike?

I guess if he has a mental health issue, this destroying of his career in this way is better than bringing a semi automatic to work and spraying.

I haven't seen anything like that since race 1 @ Fingerlakes the same day July 20TH.

The re-rally for Place makes it 'extra special'. Wow.

The only possible excuse is the horse got so unbalanced from all his looking around that it felt off.... in which case he'd still deserve life for incompetence.

It is important when fixing a race to find a jockey who knows how to fix a race. That was Hollywood-comical. His only real choices after he stopped that horse to a walk was to pull up completely and say the horse took a bad step or the saddle slipped, or just fall the frick out the saddle.

It is hard to ever say something was the worst ever, but that was by far the worst fix attempt I have ever seen. The jock should get a lifetime ban for the ride and another lifetime ban for the ineptitude displayed at fixing a race. And this from a 20 year veteran who was coming off a career year.

Miss the start, run your horse up into traffic, drop a 100 lengths back and rally late for a piece...nah, this guy goes with open up a huge lead, stop your horse to a walk at the top of the lane while looking back repeatedly like you are fleeing a zombie apocalypse, let basically the entire field pass you, the put your horse under a drive to come up a little bit short.

At least he will live on in infamy on the internet forever.

Certainly brings back memories of that race in Louisiana where three riders tried to fix the trifecta but weren't able to pull it off.
