GOLD SPOT SCRATCHED
Gold Spot was scratched at 3.50 p.m. yesterday for all engagements at the Canterbury Jockey Club's Grand National meeting, to be held at Riccarton on August 12, 14 and 16. NO MARKET Some writers in the Press have remarked that the sale of bloodstock held at Newmarket early in May was a tragedy, writes Adair Dighton in London "Sporting Life." In one sense they are ru?ht, but in another sense, and from rhe point of view of the bloodstock industry, they are wrong. Of the 60-odd lots listed there were not more than half a dozen who could, in present conditions, be justifiably retained as of value to the industry. Good faoroes, like rare jewels, command their price. But it was more satisfactory to see such a lot as were listed sold to a known destination than to see them knocked down to amateurs to whom they would inevitably bring disappointment.
