DECISION ON MULTIVE’S RUNNING

The jlidicial Committee of the Manawatu . Racing Club met last night to further consider thfe matter of Multive’s running in the Tokomaru Hurdles on the fir?t day_of the summer meeting, and returned the following verdict: “The stewards consider thathho 1 circumstances surrounding the running of fee horse Mnltivb in the Tokomaru Hurdles 7 is highly suspicious especially m view of [the heavy backing of the horse on tl 10 second day, but they do not think that the evidence is strong, enough to warrant a ponviction for a corrupt practice. , The running of Coldstream was not ip any way! questioned.

At the'first day of the Auckland races the record suui of £154,188 10s was handled by he otalisntor staff, which represents an ml&Io 0/ £29,272 over, last year, and is a fresh Dominion record. On the Aucklan r-ma alone £29.417 10s was invested, and hc«e figure* are easily a record for any one race in 'the Dominion, the previous best ace "i i Rn u nn d)ecl on ihe same race last being £gll )i hnnd)^ itcd . Merm.n Jnr the iGreht Northern Foal Stakes (over £9OOO odd), is accounted a record so far as this Dominion is concerned. ■t - - >
