Can anyone shed some light on race fixing?

How often does it happen?

Legal implications make this a no go zone in a public forum....

The only comment i'll make is
Race fixing is a dirty word and is nothing related to alleged stable riding / driving or giving your dog some pre race assistance that may happen, because at least the trainer / driver / owner are trying to win

Thanks for your reply, but why should it be a no go zone?

I thought the whole idea of these forums was to anonymously share information you wouldn't get through traditional media.

I wasn't asking for names or specific incidents.

imho there isn't many if any 'boaties' happening at the trots these days but was does happen is INCOMPETANT DRIVERS that SLAUGHTER HORSES week in week out & team racing which does happen should be INVESTIGATED BY THE STEWARDS but they never ask those questions :? :? :? so you can not blame the participants for doing it because questions are never asked which baffles logic
