Good point. You could have an issue, regardless of a private entity. I am sure their bylaws, rules, etc. could be revised -- but I think you might find an owner, a big owner, who would challange it. Maybe not.
This NJ case is interesting. One question I had was with regard to disclosure. New rule, new policy, etc. -- where does NJ disclose this to the owner? The trainer signs a stall application, but the owner only signs a license application. I should have read it last week when I was at Monmouth. The condition book also spells out a variety of rules as well.
