From the letsgohorseracing web site.Pretty easy to guess who the culprit is.A mammoth plunge at the Rockhampton track would be the joke of the century.
UGLY UNDERBELLY OF RACING IN QUEENSLAND IS EXPOSED YET AGAIN
IT’S not often that a trainer wins a race but walks away feeling he was the victim of a rort.
But that happened in Rockhampton last week where there are strong stories doing the rounds that a prominent racing identity organized a race and enjoyed the spoils.
Trainer Jared Wehlow told Silks & Saddles columnist Terry Butts, who had a runner at the TAB meeting at Callaghan Park, he could not believe the price posted early of $2.80 about Cyclone Billy.
But before he knew it there was a mammoth plunge on Cyclone Billy and the horse firmed at one stage to $1.60 before starting at $1.80. Wehlow said not one cent of stable money was invested in the plunge.
The rumor mill was in over-drive nominating who was responsible with claims that the win of Cyclone Billy had a little help. Unfortunately the racing identity allegedly behind the plunge is one of the first to whinge when a result goes against him.
Before RQ integrity (what little there is of it) starts taking action after the horse has bolted and dragging Jared Wehlow into an inquiry, the serious allegations about the race did not originate from him.
Industry sources in Central Queensland don’t even expect stewards to question the identity who is alleged to be behind the plunge as he is too well connected.
ulprit is.

A copy of the track bookies betting sheets would make interesting reading but not as exciting as a few corporates ledgers on the race.
