“EARTHQUAKE” TO HAVE A SPELL.
>, ■ - - i - TOO MANY REGISTRATIONS OF OWNERSHIP. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) . WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
Disqualification for a period of one year from December 19th. has been imposed on Earthquake and on F. L. Turley, D. W. Morgan, F. L, Fenton and Mrs M. L, Turley, by the final judgment of the appeal judges of the New Zealand Racing Conference in the Earthquake case.
The judges were Sir Charlea Clifford, Messrs Gould and Donnelly. They say that, after carefully considering the evidence adduced at the inquiries before the Greymouth District Committee and hearing Turley, Morgan and they are satisfied that the evidence establishes beyond question that Earthquake was and is owned by Turley. Mrs Turley was unable to appear before them, but they had an opportunity of reading an affidavit by her, placed before the Greymouth District Committee, and Turley stated that she could add nothing to the affidavit. They are' satisfied that the various registrations of Morgan, Fenton and Mrs Turley as owner at different times of Earthquake were devices to conceal the fact that the horse was owned by Turley throughout the period. They therefore find Turley, Morgan, Fenton and Mrs Turley guilty of corrupt practices under the Rules of Racing,,
