" Sport" writes a letter with reference to reversals of form at the Summer Meeting ot the Takapuna Jockey Club. Ho wishes to know why tho stewards pick out the owner of Van Dietnen and lot other owners escape. " Sporb " concludes his letter as follows : — " Of course, I don't expect for a moment to hear of an inquiry being hold into the running of nny local horses, but the Takapuna Jockey Club need not forget that even if they ignore the necessity for so doing, the Metropolitan Club can and in all probability will do so."
