NEW RULE

Save Repetition Of Last winter at Trentham there was some trouble when Rameses was ruled ineligible for the Trlal.7 „- , Plate. ■" .;.'■*'. THE conditions ofthe race called for "orily horses which had not won a. race to the value of lOOsovs. ; Rameses had not won a race of that value. as the winning enfd, hut he had won one where .the/total, value was that amount. 7 •■ 7 .... . .: Somebody with an academical-mind fastened on the condition and argued to such good extent that Rameses was ruled put of order. And this was done m face of what practical men like Fred Tilley and the late Stewart Waddell had. 7 These, two trainers knew more about what was wanted for a Trentham Trial than anybody m V New Zealand. Anyho-w, the stir up has had a good effect and at this conference, there is aremit for consideration. It is froni the Executive Committee and it is an addition to rule 6, part XVIII. These words have been added. ",'■■"./■ . . or m interpreting the conditions Of a race, which specify it to he a race for horses that have not won a race of the value of a stated amount, or races of -the aggregate value of a stated amount, the value of the race shaU be the amount actually credited to the winner of the race." That fixes the trouble for all times.
