THOSE FLATTENED FENCES
There seems to be an unwritten law that when a hurdle or fence is knocked down it must not be restored to its original position, Writes "Sentinel." Yet a partially-flattened hurdle or gap in a fence may be a far greater source of danger than a properly standing jump. At Washdyke last Saturday Polydora knocked over the wing of the first fence, and when coming to it again as the final fence Snowy Dawn, Bonny Buff, and High Speed ran off. Snowy Dawn was racing with Hunting Go, and the fact that the wing had not been replaced robbed the race of considerable interest. There is nothing tin the Rules of Racing to prevent the i restoration of a flattened hurdle or fence, and when a horse is nominated as a jumper it should be.kept a jumping race from beginning to end.
