There's a scam at race meetings where the car parks are targeted with leaflets from ITK horsey types advertising information and tips for so much a month or week.
Just to prove how good they are, they give you a tip for a particular race.
Unfortunately, every horse in that race is covered across the car park so some of the people think that these people are ITK.
The very same thing happens on this board with rumours from skate sleepers doing the rounds every day
Although you probably all knew this anyway
