Expecting (hoping?) the fed are a different story when it comes to penalties. TGJB comment of "They have not been taking serious steps to catch people" is exactly spot on regarding most tracks, racing commissions. Similar to many on this board, more than once I have (either through letters or face to face) tried to address issues (once to track management, three times to the racing co

Yeah -- confusing, but this part is clear -- "With previously unavailable data now at our disposal, we have revised the formula to make adjustments that were demonstrably more accurate.
