Attended by representa-i fives of the Trotting Confer-! ence. the Greyhound Racing! Association, the Totalisator! Agency Board, the Racing! Authority and the Auckland; District Racing Committee,! the meeting discussed a; paper submitted by the! Auckland District Committee! entitled “A new Philosophy; for the Racing Calendar.” i The racing conference sec-!
retary-manager Mr Hafford Poland, said all bodies were concerned at the parlous financial state of racing, trotting, and greyhound clubs whose costs are increased at a rate far beyond the increased revenue from totalisator investments. “The meeting discussed action that could be taken to improve the situation and one of the suggestions was to encourage a greater spread of racing dates to make better use of the T.A.B.’s facilities.” A committee, representing all the organisations, will meet later this month. It will prepare a report to be presented to the combined committee of the Racing and Trotting Conferences and the Greyhound Racing Association at its next meeting in July.
