This is the kind of thing that drives people out of racing:

Really? I mean do people say that I've had enough with trainers altering foal papers and throw in the towel?

I doubt a single person has quit horse racing over the Paul Aguirre foal papers scandal.

It has been my experience that juice trainers winning or losing and DQ's bring the most venom out.

Everytime a juice guy wins there is complaining. Everytime some bets on a juice guy and the horse doesnt win there is complaining. Everytime there is a suspect DQ there is complaining. In the end I dont think anyone is quitting betting races over integrity issues, they are quitting over integrity issues that they are blaming on them losing.

Short fields and high takeout are valid complaints. Lack of competitive racing in many places is valid. Poor customer service and a lack of common sense we are guilty of. But the integrity issues while troubling dont seem to effect the NFL or MLB.

I guarantee that there arent too many people who cashed on Willie Beamin tonight overly concerned that he might come back with a bad test.
