Follow-up Q&A on group operations; Another incident on Saturday showed the vulnerability

From the Purebred Idea Foundation

Since publishing our story on a pool manipulation incident at Gulfstream ParkTIF received or noticed many comments and questions about it and identified a new case of manipulation as of Saturday, November 19 in Laurel Park.

We hope to answer some of those questions and provide more context for those trying to understand what is involved in threatening the integrity of the sport.

Among the questions we address:

• How often does this happen and why?
• I don’t understand this…can you explain step by step how someone would try to perform the operation?
• Why do you seem to hate Quinellas and want to shut them down?
• Is pool manipulation really illegal?
• If group manipulation is on the rise, what is driving it?
