BETTING IN BRITAIN
TO BENEFIT BREEDING
TOTALISATOR FORESHADOWED
(British Official Wireless.)
HUGBY, 29th April. Great interest has been aroused by th.c announcement that the Jockey Club has decided to hoTd an inquiry into means whereby betting may best be made to contribute to the maintenance of hoTse : breeding and' racing. This step is generally regarded as meaning that the question oi establishing officially a totalisator on racecourses is to be seriously considered. Only last month Mr. Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, intimated to a deputation of racehorse owners that, if at any time the totalisator were legalised and became au important feature in racing, those interested in breeding bloodstock horses could then claim a share in whatever was left over after the Government had taken its due. It ia known that for some years the pillars of the Turf have been anxious to divert some of the profits of betting, which have hitherto gone exclusively to bookmakers, into channels that would do more good to horse-breeding.
