really a no win situation for the track. mention was made of the jocks who were refused entry to tracks, and then you have stall space denied due to possible problems. in all cases, attempts have been made to protect the betting public, but they're now 'wrong' for having done so-since there may not be enough evidence to convict in a court of law. however, the owners of these tracks have a right to deny service, or space, to whomever.
can't help but wonder how much outrage there would be had their been proof presented that there were shady activities, the track had an inkling, but did nothing due to lack of enough substantial evidence to make a case.
can't please all the people all of the time-so the tracks must do the best they can.
look at it this way, if you had an employee that you were 99.99% sure was stealing from you, but you didn't have enough to call the cops to arrest--would he still be working for you?
