Does it violate any rules or laws?

Yes sir Rick. I've known generous owners that stake members of the team. And it is common for jock agents/ jocks to bring treats to the barn after a win. Th e bigger the purse the bigger the treats.

Ranch- I have never seen a rule prohibiting this practice. I have seen trainers requiring some sorts of kickbacks from riders but nothing like this story. Illegal no- unethical yes

Thanks, Tony.
