You were on a roll until that sentence. The 'Social License" construct is a nonsense. As for your posts all you are doing is feeding the Anti-Racing very small minority or the underperformed disenfranchised. Ironically that last group doesn't want to give you the freedom to speak! Go figure!

Moi?? joie de vivre moi!
However in life (apart from Trumpeske lunatics) there's always rules...ok?
Even 'scrum rules' where in the dark depths non rules based thuggery...da boys will sort it out themselves..thuggery rules ok?
And THE industry that requires rules more than ANY other is the gambling industry
If someone is cheating...aka Sam Collett...by smacking horses in places forbotten...or using 40% more strikes than the next jockey...beaten a neck
Then obviously...that cant be tolerated
So if Sammy is smacking some horse indiscriminately over the head and flattening ears, contacting eyes et el
...and Winnie's general public finds out...the narrative is the thoroughbred industry loses the 'social licence' to operate
and you'll end up betting on two up in dark alleyways...is that what you really really want?
There you go Shab's given you the answer!
They even let you back every single runner to win 5K...enables you to be like Pro HK punters who back 2/3/4 runners at times to fit their 'whatever' profit margins
Always remember of course these 'big bets' you see on the telly..winning over the set limits...are obviously long term losers!
Or do you think they have 'special' punters they let on for any amount to avoid bad publicity in restricting 'big time players' in the industry...aka mates rates?
