WEATHER - FINE TRACK – GOOD



GENERAL:



Stewards conducted an inquiry into a complaint laid by Mr W. Bryant prior to the running of Doomben Race 6 in that he had placed a bet of $50.00 each way with licensed book maker Mr W. Gannon on the gelding PERISCOPE at the odds of 21.00.

Mr Bryant stated he had asked Mr Gannon’s bag man and clerk if they were accepting bets on that race and there reply was yes and a betting ticket was issued confirming the wager.

Mr Gannon explained that at the time the bet was placed his betting sheet was slightly ajar and that under those circumstances he was not liable to honour that bet.

After considering the evidence from all parties it was the decision of the stewards that the bet should stand.
