All of those fans out there who think they know the Biz. What is your insider info that has even those involved shaking their heads. I will pick the most outrageous, mis-conception there is out there. It could be jockeys can't own their own horses, jockeys don't make enough so they consistantly throw races, horses are beat mercilessly so they run faster. Any of those would be great, but they are old by this point, come up with the best inside info your hotwalking friend just heard, and I will pick the most laughable fact out there as best answer.

When Giacomo won the Derby and the superfecta paid 1+million dollars, some idiot told me that the 4 horses involved were given 'milkshakes'.

Apparently a bunch of people are convinced that racehorses go directly to slaughter after their racing careers.
I was amused when in the Seabiscuit movie the guy in the news video said that they give Seabiscuit 2 pints of ice cold beer before every race... then they got huge stacks of beer... I don't know if that's true or if it was just in the movie, but i thought it was funny.

I love the one that says the jockeys get together in the jockey room and decide who gets to win the next race. "Alex won the last one, so I guess it's your turn Victor."

I usually laugh when someone says to bet the horse or dog that poops before a race - they ALL poop geniuses!
