HOLIDAY RACING
TOTALISATOR INVESTMENTS
A HUGE DECREASE Racing and trotting meetings held throughout the Dominion during the Christmas and New Year holidays showed a marked decline in the volume of betting. The weather was better than it has been for some years, but in every case clubs have to show a decline in totalisator turnover, and for the whole of New Zealand the decrease compared with last year is over a quarter of a million. The complete figures are as follows : RACING 1930-31 1929-30 £ £ Auckland R.C. ... 282,558 352,436 Waipukurau J.C. 12,891 15,168 Dunedin J.C 33,315 45,553 Westland R.C. ... 13,110 15,164 Taranaki J.C. ... 30,489 42,317* Manawatu R.C. ... 80,345 119,766 Wyndham J.C. ... 13,175* 16,986* Greymouth J.C. ••• 17,801* 23,455 Waikouaiti R.C. ... 18,110* , 23,110* Wairarapa R.C. ... 39,852 54,083 Southland R.C. ... 39,487* 29,274 Marton J.C 27,392 49,742* Stratford J.C 36,632* 52,069 Hawkes Bay J.C.. 23,316 41,207 Total 658,262 890,545* > Decrease 232,283* TROTTING Ashburton T..C. ••• 20,385* 24,331 South Wairarapa T.C. 12,696 18,326 Westport T,C. ... 19,482* 21,518 Reefton T.C. ...... 6,445* 5,689* Winton T.C 10,027* 12,573 Auckland T.C. ... 129,875 166,555 Canterbuty Park T.C. 51,940 71,060* Total 250,852 320,053 Decrease 69,201
