CONFERENCE PART
Matter Could Be Investigated The late scratching of Gay Diamond from his engagement at Wyndham on Saturday is a subject which could well be investigated by the executive of the New Zealand Trotting Conference at its next meeting. The executive can take no action under the Rules of Trotting against C. C. Scott, the ownertrainer of Gay Diamond, but it could well consider the framing of a new rule to cover the situation.
This could be considered by the next annual meeting of the conference and a new rule approved in time for the 1960-61 season. The majority of clubs would support a new rule which would make it mandatory for any owner or trainer to withdraw his horse from one of two meetings at which it claimed engagements on the one day, such withdrawal to be made at least 48 hours before the day of which the meetings were to be run.
