Conflict of Interest by definition: A conflict of interest occurs when an individual or organization (such as a policeman, lawyer, insurance adjuster, politician, engineer, executive, director of a corporation, medical research scientist, physician, writer, editor, or any other entrusted individual or organization) has an interest that might compromise their actions. The presence of a conflict of interest is independent from the execution of impropriety.

Vic Stauffer-Track Announcer at Hollywood Park.
Joel Rosario-Jockey at Hollywood Park.
Vic Stauffer-Jockey Agent for Joel Rosario at Hollywood Park.

I believe that his interest in Joel Rosario's performance has the potential to compromise his actions as Hollywood Park Track Announcer. Clear as day to me. But it looks like the 44 No voters are smarter than us 18 yes voters and defy the logic of what a Conflict of Interest is.
