B.B.C. Objects To Broadcasting Race

No commentary will be broadcast by the B.B.C. on the Gold Collar, first "classic" of the greyhound racing season, when it is run at Cathford, S.E., on June 3.

The B.B.C.'s reason is that "it is contrary to their policy to broadcast events which might encourage gambling,"

Sporting events broadcast by the B.B.C, which may involve a few small bots include the Derby, the Grand National, the Cup Final, sundry other football matches, horse races and such.

But when the promoters of the established sports and greyhound Gold Collor pointed out these things racing is comparatively new. to the B.B.C. the reply was:-
