Authorities say they believe as many as 30 owners, drivers, trainers and gamblers conspired to fix the outcome of certain harness horse races run at three Michigan tracks.
The Michigan State Police and the Michigan Gaming Control Board executed search warrants Thursday at three southeast Michigan homes as part of an ongoing investigation into fraudulent wagering at the tracks.
Police say the case involves races at Hazel Park Harness Raceway, Northville Downs and Sports Creek Raceway in Swartz Creek. The tracks themselves aren't under investigation and have been cooperating with investigators.
The race-fixing case could lead to felony charges. Members of the Ontario Racing Commission are also working on the investigation.
