NEW ZEALAND TROTTING ASSOCIATION
STAKE MONEY INCREASED,
(EI TELEGRAPH.—PBESS ASSOCIATION.)
CHRISTCHURCH, 4th June,
At a meeting of the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association to-day, when the question of passing programmes was under.' consideration, Mr.' Kitchingham said he though'- it was time the racing.clubs were compelled to raise the stakes for coming events, in view of the large entries they received, and the amount of the totalisator investments. On his motion it was decided that the minimum stakes in trotting events at racing clubs' meetings should be £65. .The presiderit, Mr. -r/. Selig, said that the committee appointed to deal with the question of obtaining extra totalisator permits had taken certain action, and it was. probable that further action would be taken next month.
It was agreed to send a remit to the conference for a new rule providing for uniformity in starting horses by the yards system, also to recommend that a rule be framed making it compulsory for riders and drivers to report to the stipendiary stewards any breakage of gear during a race.
