Hodgson, of Auckland, owner of Thespis, against the decision of the judicial committee of the Avondale Jockey Club in awarding first prize money, £l3O, in the Hobsonville Hurdles to Valpai, owned by Mr. L. Hodgson, of Hamilton, was heard by the Auckland District Committee last evening. Thespis ran second to Valpai. , A protest against Valpai on the ground that his rider, Mr. J. Muir, had infringed the conditions of his gentleman rider's licence by engaging in the training of horses, including Valpai, was dismissed by the judicial committee of the club. After hearing further evidence the district committee decided to refer the matter back to the Avondale Jockey Club for further inquiry as to the eligibility of Valpai to ratfe as being trained by his owner, the inquiry also to embrace the question of Mr. Muir's eligibility to continue to hold a gentleman rider's certificate.
