Show Notes
The Fine Cotton Scandal of 1984 is a notorious event in Australian horse racing history, where a syndicate attempted to rig a race by substituting a slow horse with a faster one.
The plan, led by John Patrick Gillespie, involved a series of desperate measures that ultimately failed, leading to a national scandal that exposed corruption in the racing industry.
