RICCARTON BETTING
' POSSIBILITY OF CHANGE
Next week the committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club will make a decision concerning the betting system to be employed at the Midsummer Meeting. It may be taken as an- assured fact, particularly in the light of the success attending the Trentham Meeting, that win-and-place betting will continue to be the medium at Ricearton, but the club may try the experiment of changing the allocations from the- place pool to provide for a larger return to backers of winners (says a southern writer). At-present, place-betting provides an even distribution to the three or two place-getters, according to the size of the field, but some committee members have in mind the allocation of place dividends in the proportion of 70, 20, and 10 per cent, respectively for first, second, and third, or 70 and 30 per cent, when two place, dividends are payable.
