Hounds or Horses?
BRITISH RACING CRAZE NEW ZEALANDER’S VIEWS By Caftle.—Press Association—Copyright Reed. 10 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. Mr. J. E. Henrys, handicapper for several New Zealand racing clubs, considers that the British turf authorities are playing into the hands of greyhound-race promoters. He does not wonder that in view of the high admission charges to racecourses people resort to a cheaper sport. Though the English race tracks are beautiful, public facilities and prizemoney do not compare with New Zealand or Australia, where everyone can see the racing. The horses are, perhaps, superior to those of Australia and New Zealand. The prices of yearlings prohibit the Dominion owners purchasing extensively. He pays a tribute to the clean riding of the English jockeys.—A. and N.Z.-Sun.
