One horse showing dramatic improvement seemingly out of nowhere can happen.
But when four connected horses all coming off lengthy layoffs do it on the same afternoon, well, it doesn’t take Barney Curley to sense that something may be off.

The strange results in America were only one part of the story.
On Tuesday, Britain’s Racing Post reported that a “six-figure betting coup” had been pulled off through in-person wagers on the Fair Hill runners with UK bookmakers.
The bets were reportedly spread across at least 12 London shops and, because they were placed overseas, did not directly affect the US odds.
One estimate put the British bookmakers’ potential exposure as high as £800,000 ($1.1m).
