As I found this topic to be somewhat interesting and suspicious as to how offshore books have handled it I took the time to call and speak to the racing officials at Finger Lakes.
I just got off the phone with the Richard in the Racing Stewards office at Finger Lakes. We spoke in length about the race in question. There is no investigation ongoing nor will there be. Richard stated that they did receive a couple of calls and although they looked at the race replay there was no wrongdoing. He further stated that the horse in question had just recently worked 36 in a 3 Furlong work and that the field was less than spectacular. He stated he has seen many races such as this in his career. Finally he stated that the Stewards office would never commence an investigation brought on by phonecalls from offshore bookmakers.
