I can say with complete certainty, that jockeys and owners [in Maryland] are permitted to bet on their own horses. It is done very commonly and openly. It is a serious violation to bet on opposing horses. Not sure about trainers.

Sorry to derail this further . . .

According to the MGM Grand (and numerous other sources), one of if not the largest sports books in the world, you are wrong.

Someone mentioned his name already, but Schilling is interesting because he does not fall in Rose's category or the PED category, he falls in the foot-in-the-mouth/big mouth/politics category...kept out on account of the morality clause because of what came out of his mouth, but just like with the PEDers, you have gents in the Hall who were flat out unabashedly racist, among other unsavory characteristics, some openly against integration of the game...

I do think that Schilling will get in before Bonds and Clemens, certainly before rose. He may have been doled out the purgatory stint for optics, but I do think that he will be in within the next decade off the veterans committee.
