RACING SENSATION
INCIDENT AT BRISBANE PLOT AGAINST BEAULIVRE WIRE ACROSS TRACK (United Press Assn.—knee. Tel. Copyright) (Received July 3, 9 a.m.) BRISBANE, July 3 What is described as a sinister incident aimed at preventing the New Zealander, Beaulivre; taking his place in the Doomben Handicap at Newmarket next Saturday was reported yesterday when during early track work the local horse Yeppoon collided with a strand of fencing wire stretched across the track overnight by some evildoer, whom the police are trying to trace. Yeppoon was nearly thrown down. A prominent bettor expressed the opinion that the plot was instigated by starting price bookmakers, who have heavy commitments on Beaulivre, who had not left his stall when the incident was reported. A special police guard is now stationed at Beaulivxe’s stall.
