BLOCKING THE LOOPHOLE
1 MONG the welter of notices of motion through which the representatives of New Zealand trotting clubs will have to wade at the conference in Wellington tomorrow is one standing to the name of the Forbury Park Club, as follows: — Rule 265 a: Add "any permission given by the stewards to an owner or trainer to make a change of any gear on a horse be publicly notified to the public on the course.” Obviously the remit found birth in the dissatisfaction expressed by the public at the club’s summer meeting, when the fact that Bonnie Belmont was allowed to carry toe weights on the second day was not generally made known, until the race was over. It will be surprising if there is any opposition to the remit, which does no more than recognise one of the public’s rights.
