Lets hope they never test for alcahol before they let a bettor makes a bet.

Wonder if a big loser has claimed that as a defense? Wagering could probably be seen as a contract between the bettor and the race track??? And you can't legally enter into a contract under the influence!

The article at the link states:

"The expected approval of the new rule, given preliminary okay last summer, provides that a blood alcohol content of .05 or higher will be considered alcohol impairment."

One beer might make a 113 lb. rider pretty close to that .05 level.
