“CAN’T LEAVE HORSES ALONE"
DISQUALIFIED TRAINER’S ADMISSION ' (United Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH, September 12. Admitting a list of previous convictions for offences including theft, forgery, and receiving stolen property, Cecil Allan Crosby pleaded guilty before Mr Woodward, S.M., to being unlawfully on the New Plymouth racecourse at the Hunt Club’s meeting on September 2. He also admitted that he had been training horses under a licence obtained in another name. He was convicted and fined £2. The police said Crosby, under the name of Mclntyre, had been disqualified for life by the Racing Conference, and had since obtained another licence under the name of McCormac. “How did you manage to have this licence?” asked the Magistrate. “I can’t leave horses alone,” replied defendant. “I was born and brought up among them, and I’ll die among them.”
