MELBOURNE TALKS
Handicapper To Attend Mr H. V. Spicer, hudicapper to the Canterbury Jockey Club, will attend a conference of handicappers to be held in Melbourne next March. The decision to send Mr Spicer to Australia was made last week by the Canterbury Jockey Club’s committee in response to an invitation from the Victoria Racing Club which is sponsoring the conference.
Handicappers from all parts of Australia are being invited to the conference and the organisers, in response to a number of requests, considered proceedings would be
enhanced considerably if there was representation from New Zealand. Accredited handicappers from New Zealand will be free to take part in proceedings as full participants or as observers, according to their wishes. The venue of the conference, which will be held oo Tuesday, March 15, and possibly the following day, will be Flemington Racecourse. It has been timed to coincide with the Victoria Racing Club’s three-day autumn meeting on March 12, 14 and 19. The principal races to be run at that meeting are the Newmarket Handicap, the Sires’ Produce Stakes, the St Leger Stakes, the Australian Cup, the Duke of Norfolk Stakes, and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
