Mike Maloney is one of the most respected professional gamblers in the country, and is on many panels to discuss and design programs for the betterment of racing. Mr. Maloney currently V.P. of the Horseplayers Association of North America (H.A.N.A), said the practice of "past post" betting is so persistent, he intentionally placed a small simulcast bet last spring at Keeneland for a race occurring in New Orleans. He immediately reported the snafu with the betting window and has since become a leading spokesman in the industry for ramping up betting security.
