but if the trainer has to pay out-then in future, maybe he wouldn't aid the horse, and let the best one win-rather than make the attempt, and pay out the jocks portion because of dishonesty or carelessness.


but knowing how unions work, the guild i would assume gets paid a portion of jocks earnings...so if two jocks get that portion, they get double too-right? good for the guild!

Guild is not a union
