Obtaining services or supplies and failing to pay for them is considered conduct detrimental to racing and may lead to suspension. Corrupt or fraudulent practices in relation to racing, including accepting or offering bribes, gifts, or gratuities that could influence the race result, are strictly prohibited. Any person guilty of dishonest or corrupt practices, fraudulent acts, or other conduct detrimental to racing can be ruled off, regardless of whether they are licensed or not.
