TROTTING ASSOCIATION
IMPORTANT point raised.
[Per United Tress Association-]
CHRISTCHURCH, November 9. At a meeting of the board of tho New Zealand Trotting Association tho question of whether the disqualification of a person also affected any foals running in his paddocks was discussed. Tho subject arose through an application for the registration of a horse by the owner, who was the son of a man who had been disqualified for life. It was stated by the son that he bad received tbo colt from his father when it was about five months old in exchange for a filly. Tho board decided to ask the present owner to make a statutory declaration regarding tho ownership at the time of the disqualification of his father. _ Mr Hayward said lie did not think it was ever in- ■ tended that “ the sins of a father should be visited on his sons.” The speaker was inclined to take a humane view of the matter. The secretary read rule 348, which stated that no horse of which a disqualified person was, or had been beer* yt the time of an offence the owner, should ho qualified to he entered, nominated, or started for any race.
Acceptances for all events at tb«i Winton Jockey ' Club’s annua! rac« meeting close to-morrow.
