If you had done a little research before posting, what has gone on in the past with Mr. Smith and WEG would make the Michael Gill thread seem small. WEG is doing all things in their power to keep the racing on their tracks on the up and up.

However, the Commission is saying it is nothing personal, and just has to do with this particular horse.

A related story of my own:
Back in the '70's, my dad owned some harness pacers, and also had some inside information. He has told this story on occasion. I don't know the names involved since I was just a kid, but they sent a horse form Sportsman's to the Meadowlands, and about a dozen guys flew in to bet him as well, including my dad. Well, the horse was stiffed all summer long in Chicago, and then won going away in some NJ stakes race. After the race, somebody important came over to the trainer and refused to let this horse off the grounds until he raced again, and said that he "had better win" or the horseman's bookeeper would not be releasing the purse money. He won, and then they said the traner will never be able to enter a horse at the Big M ever again.

I just talked to my dad, and sorry, it was Roosevelt Raceway. He could not recall the trainer involved, but it was a driver/trainer. My dad said there was 40k people there, and hiding the handle was a cinch. He paid $30 to win, and the next Friday, he paid $3.60 and the secretary was the guy who told the trainer never to return.
