Shorter Race Intervals
The Canterbury branch of the Racing Owners’ and Breeders’ Association would ask clubs to reduce times between races, it was decided this week.
The meeting felt 35-mlnute intervals between races, as had been introduced recently, were popular with the public and with those concerned with racing. The association also decided to run race trials later in the year. The first of these probably will be held at Ashburton, but no date has been set yet. A television programme, sponsored by the association, on racing and breeding had been delayed by unsuitable weather but was progressing satisfactorily and should be completed soon, the meeting was told.
