Default Race Fixing Debate

Help me out here, I got into an argument with a guy the other night. We both agreed that their obviously is no place for race fixing or any cheating in the sport of kings. Certainly not condoning it at all. The debate was this: the guy listed about a dozen tracks he won't play because of suspected cheating. 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?
