RUNNING OF ROWLEY
OWNER’S DISQUALIFICATION REMOVED. The appeals lodged by A. M'Donald (owner), R. S, Bagby (trainer), and A. R. Parker (jockey) against the punishment inflicted by the judicial stewards of the Canterbury Jockey Club on Monday in connection with the running of Rowley in the Riccarton Handicap on Saturday were heard by the District Committee to-day. The committee arrived at the following decision: — “The District Committee found that Rowley was deliberately pulled in the, Riccarton Handicap on Saturday, and also that the trainer (R. S. Bagby) was responsible for the instructions issued to the jockey, A. R. Parker. As there was no evidence directly to implicate the owner (A. M'Donald), and no evidence that he had backed any other horse in the race, the committee exonerated M'Donald, but dismissed the appeals of the trainer and jockey.” The effect of the decision is that the two years’ imposed on Mr M'Donald has been wiped out, but the similar punishment imposed on Bagby and the one year’s suspension on the jockey stand.
