CHANGES In
RACING RULES
Purpose is to improve the
Harness Game Next
Year
NO MARK UNLESS
HORSE WINS RACE

When the Joint Rules Committee Of
the American and National Trotting
Association meet in Chicago on Dec
1G the Board of Reviews of the Ma
tional Trotting Association will re-
commend many changes i'm the rules.
These changes the members of the
board say, will materially improve
harness racing. The changes will
have to run the gamut of criticism
before becoming law in the harness
world. The joint committee must pass
uron them before the congress Of the
two organizations formulates them
into rules.
1t is the intention Of the Board of
Reviews. if possible. to change the
rule pertaining to records that no
mark shall be placed against the
horse which has won one heat, but
which failed to win the race Under
the present rules many horses earn
. record in one heat and this mark
severely handicaps them in later
events in which they are entered.
II is proposed to amend rule 5 to
read as. follows: "A horse with a re-
cord shall be allowed one second for
each year in which he fails to equal
: or reduce his record or win a race
II the same is claimed by the nomi-
nator ins making the entry"
Another recommendation of import
ance to owners Of young horses will
be proposed to go on the rule book
as section of rule 5 Horses that
do not wear hobbies shall be allowed
three seconds in addition to the all
lowance granted in sections and 5
Of this rule If they are entitled TO
the same"
Section . OF rule q will be recon-
imended to be amended by adding the
I words; "Loafing part of the time shall
lbe considered laying-up" II is
thought that by this amendment that
it will force drivers to do their best
in each heat instead of laying-up a
heat in order to give their horse a bet
ter chance to win the race.
An additional section to russ 40 Is
added, to be known as section 4, pro-
viding that only the winner of race
shall acquire a record or bar to eligi-
hility-in a heat race. The tlme-made
by other heat winners shall constitute
a breeders record. Section of the
same rule is recommended to be add
ed with the following effect. thai
when a \series Of races is given fol
one entranc fee and a part of the
purse is given for each heat or race
the winner Of each heat or race shall
acquire a record or bar
A provision is proposed to be adde,
to rule 81 to be known as section "A
and which. If adopted, will provide
that any limited suspension imposed
by the judges can be removed or mod,
fled by the President upon recon-
mendation by the judges or the mem
Der upon whose grounds the penalty
was imposed.
