... Ignorance is no excuse under the law Judge Rogin.<br /> Do the terms "betting coup", "race fixing", "pulling a horse", "juicing" or "milkshaking" mean anything to you? No?<br /> The Ontario Jockey Club and every parimutual horse racing establishment in Canada has "rules" against cheating and defrauding the public. Syringes full of "juice" on racetrack grounds constitutes intent to cheat the public by stimulating a horse to run faster than it would normally. This defrauds the "observers" by potentially cheating them out of their money. Without "observers" wagering on a fair contest there would be no racing. No racing industry. No thousands of jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-69192569004429516302013-08-16T10:16:32.138-04:002013-08-16T10:16:32.138-04:00Steve,
