Hypothetical question, you happen to be at the track and you notice a trainer at the betting terminal betting a race where he/she has a horse running, problem is they are betting another horse...would this be a conflict of interest?

I think each jurisdiction has their own rules.

This whole thread is somewhat akin to old ladies sitting around the nursing home with nothing else to talk about but how the interns are in kahoots against them , lol. To read back from post one until now is pretty funny.

At least elevate it to the "ODD COUPLE" series, or something like that. The grinding up of a dead body is pretty gangster.
