TOTE DIVIDEND
£3037 FOR £1 TOWNSVILLE, July 23. What is claimed to be the world’s record tote dividend was recently paid at a suburban meeting at Shanghai, according to Tingle, the lightweight jockey, who is returning xfrom the East on the St. Albans. A Chinaman, who was the only investor on a winner named Don Robledo, a pony having his first run, received 15,193 dollars (or £3037) for £l. Tingle rode the winner, “but,” he says, “I didn’t back it.” At Shanghai two five-dollar (£1) totes are run, one for straight-out betting and the other for a place. Eight persons who backed the winner for a place received 184 dollars.
