(ii) Has engaged in bookmaking or another form of illegal gambling.
(iii) Has been found guilty of fraud in connection with racing or breeding.

Source The provisions of this § 163.57 amended July 14, 1972, effective July 15, 1972, 2 Pa.B. 1341.
Notes of Decisions The defense of entrapment is available in proceedings before administrative agencies as well as in judicial proceedings, where a jockey’s license revocation was based on his dealings with another jockey who was being motivated and manipulated by the investigating officers so as to persuade or induce, the revocation must be reversed.
