Naming of drivers to be enforced
The regulation requiring drivers to be named for races involved in T.A.B. double and treble legs at trotting meetings has been ruled valid and it will be enforced from now on. This was announced yesterday by the chief executive officer of the Trotting Conference (Mr John Rowley) after a meeting of the emergency committee of the executive. The conference’s solicitor advised the meeting that Rule 216 (3) gave the executive the power to approve programmes for trotting meetings which included conditions which it saw fit and proper. Rule 248 (1) was Involved only with require-
ments involving the check room controller. The judicial committee at Addington Raceway last Saturday claimed there was conflict between Rule 248 (1) and the regulation covering the naming of drivers and declined to take action against offenders. The committee referred the matter back to the conference for a legal opinion. “The regulation will be enforced in future,” said Mr Rowley. “This has been made clear by the president (Sir James Barnes) in discussions he has held with the stipendiary stewards, who have been in Christchurch for their annual meeting on licencing.”
