Forbes Autumn Meeting Notes Reflect Mixed Attendance
The 1914 Forbes J.C. Autumn meeting saw gate receipts £10 lower than last year while bookmakers’ fees and domination money rose £46. Attendance dipped due to doubts about entry quality, despite strong racing and orderly track conditions. Improvements to the course and track watering drew praise, with calls for better publicity and a modern telephone system, and notable excitement as Lady Rice challenged the field in one highlight.
