IGNORANT OF RULES
A notice in the English "Racing Calendar'1 shows that some owners in that country have a deficient knowledge of the rules governing the sport. After his rider had weighed out in a hurdle race at the Sedgefield Meeting, one of the candidates did not go to the post. The stewards held an inquiry, and the owner stated that the jockey had lost his cap after being weighed out, and he (the owner) was under the impression that a horse could not start without the jockey wearing a cap. The owner was fined £5, and was cautioned to be more careful in future.
