COSTLY CAKE

Rule Must Be

Enforced (From "N.Z. Truth's". Auckland -Rep.) TF every jockey who committed the ■*■ v breach of the rules of talking to spectators was treated as was' jockey Gill at Whangarei— fined £ 2— the funds would swell to the same extent as the unemployment levy must assuredly do. Jockey Gill is not the only jockey who has talked to a supposed bookmaker over a fence, but any of those* m future who want a puff at a cigarette or a nibble at a sandwich had better take heed, from the Whangarei incident. The real strength of the Gill incident at Whangarei appears to be that he could not resist going after a piece of cake when he observed refreshments over the • fence. However, there is a rule m racing which debars jockeys from talking to spectators once they leave the paddock, and the rule should be strictly enforced. ,-. ' .
