A case of interest to horseoxvners aml trainers was heard at the Magistrate’s Court, Creymouth yesterday before Mr AV. Aleldrnm S.M. when Donnellan and Shannaiian proceeded against John Sidney Barton of Christchurch for £lB Os. being ten per cent, of the value of stakes won by the racehorse Buoyant, at the AVest Coast race meetings, at Christmas and New A'ear last. Afr Doogan appeared for the plaintiffs whilst defendant was represented by Air Joyce. In opening. Air Doogan stated that the ease had arisen out of an agreement between the plaintiffs and defendant, regarding the terms payable for the training of defendant’s racehorse. Buoyant; the training fees were not disputed, hut the question of the percentage to he paid to plaintiffs out of the winnings, formed the basis of the suit. After hearing evidence, the Afagistrate said that plaintiffs had both been unshaken in their evidence as to what arrangements had taken place at the Bangiora course. Their statements had in a measure been supported by defendant. Evidently there was an arrangenlent whereby a percentage of winnings was allowed ns was .specially provided for by the Racing Conference. It appeared also to be plaintiff’s practice to charge a percentage of winnings, in addition to ordinary training fees. Tt looked fair and reasonable, and gave the trainer an incentive to get the horse into winning form. Defendant said he gave gratuities. Tt was strange ho had not done so in this particular instance. He considered the view to take was that if there was nothing else hut the fee in prospect, no interest would he created in the desire to win. Tt seemed reasonable that 10 per cent, of winnings should be paid the trainer of a horse. The evidence of plaintiffs showed that they stipulated for it. Judgment would he for plaintiff for the amount claimed £lB 6s, with costs £1 10s and solicitors’ fees £3 13s.
