Gambler admits fixing races by drugging horses on East Coast tracks
A UPI report says Bobby Byrne testified to House Crime Committee investigators that he and associates drugged horses to fix races at numerous tracks from Florida to Maine. He described injecting depressants into animals, betting on the winners, and skirting three tracks ordered off by organized crime links with the Gambino and Patriarca families.
