Lawrie, owner of the horse Cantabile, from the decision of the Auckland District Committee, which dismissed the appeal of A. F. Lawrie from the decision of the committee of the Auckland Racing Club in disqualifying the horse Cantabile for the Gordon Handicap, run on November 10, 1920, at the Auckland Racing Club’s spring meeting, owing to the numof rhe trainer, W. Olive, being on the unpaid forfeit list before, and when the race took place, the judges have brought in the following verdict:— ' \ “In investigating this case it has become apparent to the judges that the horse Cymer, owned .by W. Olive, was never validly nominated at the Otaki race meeting. Part XV. of the Rules of Racing provides that entries must be signed by the owner or his authorised agent. In this instance, the entry was not signed by the owner, whose name was affixed by his agent, nor was it signed by the authorised agent, therefore, as the nomination was invalid, the owner was not lawfully in the unpaid forfeit list. It follows that horses trained by tlie owner of Cymer are not disqualified In consequence of bis name appearing in that list, and that the horse Cantabile is entitled to the stake for the Gordon Handicap, run on November 10 last, and we direct accordingly. Whilst giving this decision, based upon their construction of the rules regulating entries, the judges wish to express their dissatisfaction with the evidence tendered by W. Olive, the trainer, both as to tis denial of authorising the entry of Cymer at Otaki, and to the non-receipt of official notices. We therefore .direct the Hawke’s Bay District Committee to suspend W. Olive’s trainer's license for a period of two months, such suspension to take effect from fbe date of the first meeting of such district committee held after the receipt of this judgment. It Is unnecessary for us to decide the question whidb has been raised as to the #»T,ment when the entry in the unpaid i [Bt t e .. comes effective, otherwise we should have relied upon the established x*a 9 tom, and held that the time of entry ip the unpaid forfeit list in the office of the "secretary of the Racing Conference p e regarded as the moment of disqualltU'ation, or other effect of such entry. As Hjz. question proposed to’us shows that the Jtules of Racing are not suffclently clear cm this point, we suggest some amendment for that purpose at the next meeting of the Racing Conference.—(Signed) George Clifford, Hugo Friedlander, Eric L. Riddiford, judges.”
