 The attempted fraud took place on the busiest day in the racing calendar with ten events taking place, and bets being made in numerous betting shops in London in double and triple wagers, which involved Gay Future in combination bets with two additional horses trained by Collins in earlier races at other courses.On the day, these two additional horses were withdrawn shortly before the races; they were never intended to run and remained at their stables.Numerous bets would now roll over onto Gay Future, as the conspirators had planned.
