REMITS TO CONFERENCE t SHORTER WAIT AT BARRIER UNUSUAL INCIDENT RECALLED (0.C.) HASTINGS, Wednesday The Hiuvko's Hay .loekov Club lias decided to forward the following remits to the next annual meeting ot the New | Zealand Raeing Conlereneo to bo held ! in .1 nly : • "That It he permitted to remount horses I in lint races, as in hurdles or steeplechases, | and to amend the Hules of Kacing in order I that hor.-es may not he ordered to the starting post more than ten minutes before ' the advertised starting lime." The former clause may appear a lIIt 1p j*tra nwp l H t>ut the r r;] ■* on for allowing .1 rider to remount in flat _ races | is on account of a happening at the Waiapu j Kacing t'ltili's meeting held .it liuatoria !■> monlhs ago. | (In that occasion the track was very hard , and when it rained the going became very { slippery No fewer Hum seven falls occurred | thai day in flat races. hi the llikuraugi Hack Handicap four ! horses went to the post and all but the j winner, Dutch Ace, who slipped at the turn ! lull recovered, fell. Perfect Lady, who was weighed out with H. Callahan as rider, was remounted and ridden in for second by a spectator, as also was day Laura, whose original rider was S. Waddell. However, both these horses when weighed in were much over-weight, and as the Kules of Hacinir only allow for 'Jib. over-weight the stewards of the dull, as well as the deputy-stipendiary steward, found that 11 breach of the rules had been committed m each instance. Therefore, there was no second or third, as the other starter, Waikawa, had nut been remounted. A like happening may not again occur, hut it is deemed as well to be prepared for it by the rules. The remit seeking authority for horses to remain in their stalls until ten minutes before the advertised time of starting will prove very ncceplahle, if adopted, to all in charge | of horses on wet days, and especially to the ! jockeys.
