To bad we can't find out what race and when this security system is talking about so we can see whether it is a pool the size of Charles Town on a Sunday or CD on a Saturday. They do ONE sample test and this is what they find. The chances of hitting a positive sample with one trial implies a very prevalent event!!! Scary stuff and yes this board has exhausted the subject previously but what if this happened on a BC or Derby day. I think Bloodhorse has an obligation to provide more info if they are going to print that. This is like walking into a movie theatre and screaming fire because you see a trash can being put out in the lobby the hysteria to the sold out movie just reacts to the alarm they have no idea the danger is under control
It just seems implausable that this isnt against some law of some sort? It is one thing if I walk up and am making bets and the pools dont close exactly on time because some kind of systems error (Not that that is acceptable) but to actually cancel wagers after the race has taken place with full intent to do so (which you would have to have in order to have the tickets ready to cancel) seems criminal.

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch for any player getting charged to use the "entrapment" defense since the player isn't illegally breaking into a system that's been closed already.
That is my whole point! The player cant do this without inside help which surely has to be against the law in some fashion.
