BETTING SYSTEM.
WIN AND PLACE FAVOURED. VISITING AUTHORITY'S VIEW. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Triday. That the people of New Zealand had not had a fair opportunity of judging the merits of the win and place system of betting, was the opinion ex : pressed by Sir George Julius, an Australian racing authority, in an interview prior to his return to Sydney to-day.
Sir George expressed himself' as convinced that the win and place system was best, as had been proved in other and older countries, but he emphasised that its success was largely dependent upon supplying the betting public with every facility for estimating the exact odds they were getting 'at' the time they were making their investment. New Zealand lacks such facilities with one exception, namely, Trentham, where the recently-installed "barometer" earned Sir George's commendation.
