Rosehill and Doomben both abandoned today.

Can’t remember the last time two major Saturday meets were cancelled the same day

I don't think it's ever happened?

[Brodlach]

Elite Tweeting by NSW Racing saying todays big meeting at Rosehill is postponed due to 3mm of rain overnight.

After the weekend where it didn’t rain as much as expected the outrage was large until someone pointed out the date.

They refunded my MAzu bet at $9.... watch it win now

[Brodlach]

They refunded all bets, what did you expect?

They refunded the bet at $9 and reopened at $5 is more the point.

Understand that but 8 starts on a heavy 5-1-1. Original odds were for a good track

There was heavy rain forecast for Saturday in Sydney, the likelihood of a heavy track was virtually a foregone conclusion looking at the forecast a few days out.
We took the $9 expecting it to be a heavy and Mazu to subsequently shorten given the wet track record. It was significant overs given the forecast. Blind Freddie could tell it was going to be a Heavy track so to go up $9 was overs.

[Brodlach]

Agree to disagree.

Scratching would have produced plenty of deductions if the track went to Heavy so you’d probably end up very similar anyway.

I’m not a bookie fan but can see why it’s occurred

[OnSong]

The point is the bookies were exposed to Mazu at $9 on a heavy track and had shortened into around that $4.50 mark prior to the meeting called off.

Then the meeting gets put back on again and it opens where it probably should have been in the first place. So they got away with one (for those who were on at the overs).

Of course we can see why it's happened. It's just worked out well for them and not us, as the overs are now gone. Thus Grub's (and my) disappointment.

A breach of the Lottery and Gaming Act cost 15 committee members of the Seaton Park sub-branch of the RSL a fine of £5 each, with 3/ costs.

The defendants, who pleaded guilty, were stated to have conducted a four way place lottery to assist the erection of a Seaton Park memorial hall in honor of fallen servicemen.
They were jointly charged with having, between about October 5. 1953. and February 8, 1954, been the occupiers of a common gaming house— the clubroom of the Seaton Park RSL at Tapley's Hill road, Seaton Park.
The defendants were: —
Mascot Arthur Edgecombe, time study observer, of Ashwin parade, Torrensville;Frederick Richard Cox, employment officer and paymaster, of Trimmerparade,Seaton Park; Claude Troubridge Pattison, agricultural contractor, of Tapley's Hill road, Seaton Park; Mervyn Clarence Coward, signalman, of Pedler street, Seaton North; Maxwell Lamshed, public servant, of Trimmer parade, Seaton Park; Stanley George Deal, of Lilley avenue, Seaton Park; Robert McMurray, of Owen avenue, Seaton Park; Lytton George Sinper, foreman, of Nicholls terrace, Albert Park; Jock Willoughby, painter, of Glenburnie street, Seaton Park; Robert William Biggs,storeman packer, of Parker avenue, Seaton Park; John Victor Gordon Butler, hardware finisher, of Trimmer parade, Seaton Park; Leonard George Hodge, bricklayer, of Pedler street, Seaton Park; Richard Oliver Webb, of Cameron avenue, Findon, Charles Ernest
Evans, clerk, of Green avenue, Seaton Park, and Milton John Lock, grocer, of Alma terrace, Woodville West.


APP Coghian. prosecuting, said the defendants had been conducting a tipping competition over the past nine months on the four-way place card sys
tem. February 8, the police took possession of 10,000 cards on order at a printing establishment. Port road, Hindmarsh. The cards were to be consigned
to the Seaton Park RSL sub-branch.
When questioned, one of the defendants said the cards were ordered on be half of the club. At the clubrooms, the police found 375 similar cards, which
had been used with horses names on them.
The competition was con ducted on a 2/- limit basis , said the prosecutor. Over nine months the club had shown a profit of only £317.
On one day it had lost £59. 'The defendants, who were quite frank about it, said the funds from the competition were for an RSL memorial hall at Seaton Park,' said APP Coghlan.
Mr. J. L. Travers, QC, who, with Mr. J. M. White, appeared for the defendants, said all of them were committee members of the sub-branch. He said the offence was not the ordinary type of betting, but was more in the nature of a tipping contest.
There was no suggestion that the club premises were conducted as a nuisance to anyone. The extent to which the premises became a common law nuisance was trivial by comparison with such contests as English football pools, or contests on the radio, through which people won motor cars and washing machines for no skill at all.

'Insignificant' 'From a moral point of view, this tipping contest is insignificant by comparison with the large scale on which these other under
takings go on,' said Mr.Travers.

It was only one offence, not 15, as only one place was involved, assuming the character of a common gaming house. The members of the club got little out
of it. The object of the tip ping contest was to help to build a soldiers' memorial hall.
Mr. Coombe said it was not the ordinary type of case as contemplated in the section of the Act, which involved a maximum penalty of £500, nor did it involve the question of a public nuisance.

However, this type of thing could develop into a public nuisance and was a breach of the law. The sums of money involved were not large and the contest did not appear to have been run outside the club itself.,

I agree, raising money for an RSL Memorial with a Calcutta and got pinged.

One of my Blackbookers is running today. Pinjarra Race 6 No. 5 Black for Cash. Forgot to get on last start and it won convincingly. Paying $6.00 at the moment.

Really, why’s that?
I’ve quite warmed to him now, his knowledge is excellent & he’s not afraid to put his balls on the line. Maybe he’s a bit too young & brash for some.
