Fixing the jockeys has always been a good system. Bay Meadows once got so bad that bookies said they'd rather take bets on the WWF than Bay. A lot of jockeys get suspended for drug use. More are dating or married to showgirls. That makes some easy targets. I have seen jockeys strangle horses to get them to slow down. Sometimes the horses have so much heart that they fight them. A lot of folks were suspicious when Desormeaux pulled up Big Brown at The Belmont.
