Race mix up costs trainer one thousand pounds
Sydney horse trainer Tom Smith faced a heavy fine after a chaotic Canterbury Race at the Sydney Turf Club where two of his horses ran with swapped saddles and wrong numbers. The mix-up altered placings in the Enfield Maiden Handicap, disqualifying Manhattan Lady and Fairy Slipper, while betting payouts were adjusted and Sweet Rag paid for the quinella. The error prompted a lengthy delay and a stewards inquiry, with bookmakers and TAB settling based on revised results.

Government and AMA clash over health fee scheme
Talks will be held between the Government and the AMA over the next weeks to avert a breakdown in relations. The Social Security Department notes the AMA proposal costs exceed 9 million annually versus the 79 million suggested by the AMA, with higher costs from new charging practices not included. The AMA says fee increases are non negotiable and will take effect August 5, while the Government argues for a full discussion of the cost and potential payment delays. Hayden meets AMA next week to discuss the health scheme and fee proposals. The department criticises the AMA plan as inconsistent with existing health care funding and urges an approach that avoids private insurance and focuses on public provision.
