is not a law making body for the turf
IN the way such authority is usually
understood The various track asso-
cations really make the laws and rules
which govern their meetings, ana these
are submitted to the Jockey Club for
plnmulgp don.
In other words, associations can
MAKE rules to suit themselves so long
as they confiue themselves ~ the law,
but their action has to be passed upon
by the Jockey club, the central body,
as 1t were. In case OF disapproval an
association could appeal TO the State
-ommission, but such thing has never
occurred In fact, the associations
ana the Jockey Club have always
worked in harmony, and the real
machinery Of the club has never been
used because II was not necessary"
