LICENSING HANDICAPPERS
,s a feeling among owners and trainers in some parts of the Dominion that the day is not far distant when the administrative powers of trotting in this country will seriously consider the question of licensing han dicappers and perhaps reducing the list so as to allow of one adjuster for the North Island and one for the South. Just how clubs would view the project is difficult to imagine, but where capable officials are available—and no doubt there is one in each island that can be classed in this category, it should tend to uniformity. The chief trouble would be where clubs race on the same days, but this could be got over by the handicapper appointing a substitute for the second day’s work. The onus would then rest with the chief official, but under either a limitatation or set system the acting adjuster could not go far astray.
