Racing Notes

Flame Queen: Flame Queen’s weight in the Highweight Handicap at Hokitika on Saturday will be 9.10. A Difference: There are some material differences between thd Rules of Racing and Trotting. One of these covers the question of joint interests (partnership leases, or contingencies). The Rules of Racing provide that no person shall be entitled to enter a horse unless his interest in the running of such horse is at least equal to that of any other party to the joint interest. There is n<s such proviso in the Rules of Trotting, and it is possible for an owner who leases a horse on a 25 per cent, basis to have such horse raced in his name and colours, although a trainer may have to pay all expenses in connection with training, driver, transport, and entry fees. It is understood that one well-known breeder has several horses in different stables under this arrangement.
