A.J.C. Bars Horses PLAN TO SAVE FODDER. (Rec. 8.20). SYDNEY, June 26. Racing men estimate that between 400 and 600 horses in training at present will have to be thrown out of work under a scheme announced by the Australian Jockey Club to save fodder. From the beginning of the new season on August 1, the following restrictions will apply: No two-year-old fillies may be entered for, or race in, any event. There will be no races for maiden, novice, encourage, or trial horses over three years of age. Horses which have been unplaced at their last six starts will not be able to race.
• The club’s action was taken because owners, and trainers had not observed a request made a month ago to reduce their teams. The club’s request followed the State Government’s demand that the number of horses in training be reduced greatly in order to save fodder.
