I have no problem with that, it's your money you should feel confident and comfortable. I mentioned that their is a chance that a race being fixed can just as easily help your wager as it can make your ticket a loser.

You throw out a horse you don't like, who actually could have hit the board but is kept out of the money. You love a huge longshot that actually would not have a chance, but they juice him up and does run for you.

My point being, I hate the race fixing, we all do, but it never really goes through my mind when I bet a race because the way I look at it maybe the races fixed that end up helping me cancel out the others in the long run. What do you think?
