OBJECTION THROWN OUT
Result of Auckland Event ib> telegraph-Preu* AaaoctationJ AUCKLAND, June 26. An objection lodged in regard to the Mangere Handicap, run at Epsom last Saturday, was dismissed by the judicial committee of the Auckland Trotting Club. The race was won by Bonny Azure, owned by Mr S. G. Hedley, and Nelson Luvan, owned by Dr. Pezaro, was second. Both these horses were formerly trained by F. J. Smith, who was recently disqualified for three months by the New Zealand Trotting Association, and they figured in the race book as being trained by his brother-in-law, C. G. Smith. Mr A. Iles, owner.of the third horse, Great Chum, entered an objection against the ’first prize money, £95, being awarded to Bonny Azure and second prize money £2O, to Nelson Luvan on the ground that F. J. Smith was not fulfilling the terms of his disqualification. Mr Iles attended and made a statement. He said he was in touch with his witnesses this morning, but in the afternoon received a message from them stating that, owing to bad weather, they could not attend. He therefore asked for an adjournment. F. J. Smith, who was present with a number of witnesses, said he received permission from the Trotting Association to continue to reside on his property at Takanini, and to work unregistered horses. The judicial committee’s finding was as follows: “That in the absence of any evidence that F. J. Smith has not fulfilled the terms of his disqualification and in the absence of any justification for an adjournment, the objection be not upheld.”
