“BOOKIES’” PROFITS
SHOULD BE DIVERTED VIEW OF TURF LEADERS By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 10.30 a.m. LQNDON, Friday. In connection with the announcement that the Jockey Club has decided to hold an inquiry into the means whereby betting may best be made to contribute to the maintenance of horse-breeding and racing, it may be stated that only last month the Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill intimated to a deputation of racehorseowners that if at any time the totalisator were legalised and became an important feature in racing, those interested in the breeding of bloodstock horses could then claim a share in whatever was left over after the Government had taken its due. It is known that for some years pillars of the turf have been anxious to divert some of the profits of betting, which have hitherto gone exclusively to bookmakers, into channels that would do more good to horse-breeding.
