According to a report in the Racing Post, the four winners that came out of the Fair Hill Training Center on Sunday, all of them linked to trainer Angel Quiroz, rewarded some punters handsomely.The Racing Post reported that a “six-figure betting coup” was pulled off with bets made with British bookmakers on the Fair Hill runners.Quiroz was listed as the trainer of three starters on Sunday. Scootalo (Mitole) finished fourth at Saratoga after a poor start, but Quiroz scored with a pair of horses at Monmouth, The Great Amira (Rock Your World) and Tepeyac (Heart to Heart) in back-to-back races.On the same day, trainer Ernesto Ochoa won races with Classic Rock (Daredevil) and M Bs Melanie Cares (Redesdale) at Saratoga. Quiroz has admitted that he was the previous trainer of the two Saratoga winners and said that both were sold by their owners to Ochoa shortly before the Saratoga starts.All five horses showed workouts at the Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland and were coming off long layoffs. Prior to Sunday, Quiroz had only two winners on the year. Ochoa also had only two wins.According to the story, large bets were also placed on Winston Wolf (Violence) in the fourth race on Sunday at Colonial. Winston Wolf finished second. The listed trainer and owner for Winston Wolf was Monica McGoey. The gelding also had workouts at Fair Hill and has been linked to Quiroz.Large wagers were also placed on a starter at Presque Isle Downs on Monday named Threedots Andadash (Mendelssohn). Quiroz is listed as the owner and trainer of the mare who was also based at Fair Hill. That horse was scratched after HISA launched an investigation and placed it on the vet's list.Wagers were also made with UK bookmakers on Bravo Rough (Gone Astray), who was entered in the second race at Mountaineer Park on Monday, but was scratched. The trainer was listed as Alexis Cordero-Lopez, but the horse had made its previous start for Quiroz and had two workouts listed at Fair Hill.“We saw some of the business in our UK retail estate and were alive to it in real time,” Paddy Power's Paul Binfield told the Racing Post. “It was a fairly remarkable attempted gamble, the likes of which we've never really seen before. It's cost us a few quid, but nothing eyewatering, as luckily for us they only managed four of the six on Sunday, as otherwise we would then have been looking at some more substantial payouts.”Though the daily double combining The Great Amira ($37.20) and Tepeyac ($9.60) paid a suspiciously low $12.80 for a $1 ticket, the win prices on the four winners were largely in line with their morning-line odds. Had someone placed bets with UK bookmakers, which don't affect the pari-mutuel prices, it would not have been in their best interests to lower the win prices at Monmouth and Saratoga.The Fair Hill Training Center, HISA and HIWU are among the organizations that have launched investigations into the matter.Quiroz, who is normally based at Gulfstream Park, told the TDN that he did nothing wrong.“It's very simple,” Quiroz said. “I took my horses and ran them at Monmouth Park and won the races and I took one horse to Saratoga and she ran fourth. Everybody is shocked. I don't see what the big deal is or what the problem is. I'm supposed to run all the time and not try to win the race? There are too many people behind social media who don't show their faces and post too much stuff that is not true. The problem with social media is that this became very popular and people started to say stuff that isn't true and tried to make me out to be a bad guy.”The post Report: Fair Hill Shippers Led to Large Betting Coup in the UK appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
