Relief Sought For Clubs
The Waikato District Committee is seeking some relief for those racing clubs providing extensive facilities for the training of horses. The executive committee of the New Zealand Racing Conference is being requested by the Waikato committee to institute a training track rubsidy scheme, and this win be considered at the annual meeting of the conference in July. A request for such a subsidy scheme was made at the annual meeting of the conference four years ago. The Waikato resolution asks for a varying scale of payments in relation to oncourse turn-overs— clubs handling on-course more than £30.000 but less than £50.000 a day to pay 10s for each starter to the club on whose course the horse is trained: clubs handling more than £50.000 and less than £75.000 to pay 15s for each starter: and clubs handling more than £75.000 to pay £1 for each starter. Clubs handling less than £30.000 a day would be exempt from payment in the terms of the Waikato remit.
