RACEGOERS STAGE SITDOWN STRSKE
Received Monday, 10.5 p.m. LONDON, March 25. Racegoers staged a sitdown strike at Nantes racecourse as a protest against the insufficient punishment of a jockey who, it is alleged, pulled a horse to let a stablemate win, says Reuter's Paris correspondent. When the jockeys returned to the scales, the racegoers held up the three placed horses and then took up a position on the track and blocked the way for 45 minutes until rain dispersed them. The jockey was fined £1.
