An A J C inquiry probes licence-holders amid widespread concern over recent form reversals and misgivings in Sydney racing. Some jockeys and trainers may lose licences as renewed checks draft new tickets at Bligh Street, with many already facing possible removal. Head offices expected to resemble a bee hive as numbers rise and reforms take hold.
A.J.C. stewards crack down on ring intrusions amid ticketing delays and new rules. Jockeys, owners, and trainers appeal disqualifications after incidents at Gosford and Kensington. Sir Joe and King Gee among those penalized as stewards vow stronger action at major meetings.

More Victorian books headline the Spring meet with new faces at the book makers stands. Some arrive from Melbourne as racegoers expect rival Victorian bookmakers to be active during Randwick’s Spring Carnival next September. Competition remains strong, and punters should seek value at Randwick.
