There's a cover teaser on this month's Vanity Fair (sorry, Conde Nast doesn't give out the info free!) that made it jump from the newstand, and it wasn't Ben Affleck's bovine face on the cover. It was the Breeder's Cup betting fraud. Too bad the mastermind's programming skills didn't extend to cutting everything short if the winner came in at unbelievable odds; too bad, count 'em, six identical winning bets went into the system. This is the fullest all-in-one report on the scam that we've found. The reporter was very good at getting the NYRA OTB people in Albany to talk, although not for attribution in many cases, evidently eager to say bad things about Catskill OTB. These three guys sure did their Drexel training proud. And the mastermind, the Autotote guy, was the first to roll over and so probably will get the best deal. Maybe they should have majored in hospitality studies (once "hotel school").
