FAKED ACCEPTANCES?
SMALLER CLUB MEETINGS
CHRISTCHURCH ASSERTION
A few months ago the Christchurcli critic, "Sandridgc," drew attention to the evil of complimentary acceptances, which he ' believed was then a growing feature of country .programmes in both Island*., but which had become particularly prevalent in the North Island. In % iew of recent ■ happenings ho ' feels obliged to point out again that this practice has not ceased. It usually takes tho form of building up lists that have become thin on acceptance night, by leaving horses in two or more races, although they have been paid up for in one event ouly, "Sandridge" osfcerts. Other instances have occuned where horses have been nominated and accepted for, without the owners' knowledge. Such actions may have the effect of dressing a programmed but clubs will find that in the long ruh, they are cheating themselves, as well'as attempting to secure public patronage by false pretence.-;.
