Richard Baerlein's selections NAP: Alverton, Newcastle, 1 45 NEXT IB EST: Floating Pound, Newbury, 2 30 Jockey Plate By HARRY AH sections of the racing industry agree that the ievei of prize money in this country is inadequate, and owners such as Ravi Tikko are moving their horses to France where place money is, in many cases, better than our win money. This being the case, it is difficult to understand the Club decision to turn down an offer from bookmakers Joe Coral to increase their sponsorship of the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle. Corals were prepared to contribute 10,500 to this popular northern race and, with a further 9,500 from the Newcastle executive, it would have been the richest handicap of the season. Corals and the Newcastle executive may appeal against the Joekev Club decision, and Mr Freddie Newton, clerk of the course at the fiosforlh Park track, said: "The Jockey Club has ruled that the prize is too valuable for a handicap 11 is a very delicate matter and I have not vet discussed it with my Board. am not certain whether we will appeal." fail to see the reasoning hehmd the Joekev Club decision, for there does not appear to be any rule which limits the value of handicaps.

Accoiding to the Jockey Club, however, a handicap 'prize of this magnitude would complicate the penally system which operates for pattern races tins country and on the Continent. I am sure that owners, trainers and the betting public would prefer that money was put into big handicaps rather than condition races, which, as we saw on many occasions last season, can produce fields of three and four and an odds on favourite. This provides neither a spectiacle no betting interest. The Jockey Club decision on the Northumberland Plate came on the eve of a press conference called by Corals to announce their sponsorship plans for 17B, when they intend to spread 120.000 over races. Biggest share of (his sum will go to the Kclipso Stakes, which for the last two years has been sponsored by Benson and Hedges, who are drastically reducing their racing interests.

In fact, their only excursion into sponsorship next year will be the Benson and Hedges Gold Cup at York. The Joe Coral Eclipse Stakes will carry 40,000 in added money, half being provided by the firm and half bv the San-down executive. United This move bv Corals more than matches the recent announcements by their book-making rivals Hills and who have gone into two-year-old races in a big way. Hills announced this week that they will be taking over the Nunthorpe Stakes at York. The Kclipse Stakes has in recent years recaptured its former glamour and after the classics and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Slakes, i.s the most important race in the country.

Among its recent winners have been such great horses as AI ill Reef. Brigadier Gerard, and Ro.val Palace, and Star Appeal, who won this HEYMER year, went on to take the Prix de 1'Arc de Triomphe, as did Iteef in 1971. Corals hae raised the value of the Joe Coral Handicap at Ayr to 6.000 and the Newbury Autumn Cup io 9.000. They will also back a new seven furlong handicap, worth run at Uaydock in August. Another interest for the firm is a tliree-ear-old gelding named Joe Coral and unnamed b.

Another Important sponsored event is the llennessy Gold Cm) at Newbury tomorrow, for which there has been a gamble on Kort J''ov. Irom the Irish stable of John Cox. Kort Kov is a promising chaser with two successes to his credit over fences, lie was second to Davy Lad in an Kmbassv Chase qualifier at Punchestown last time out.

and Mecca have reduced his price for tomorrow's event from 8-1 to 0-2 favourite. Mills have him at 4-1. but Ladbrokes have Tamalin their Market leader at 4-1. with Kort Fo- at 11-2- Corals go 9-2 Tamalin. n-1 Fort There is still no definite news about the participation of Lord Browndodd.

but the chances are he will not take part. Trainer Peter Cundell says Unless there is a monsoon before declaration time. Lord Browndodd will not run Hills and Ladbrokes offer him at 7-1 with a run. There i.s a competitive card at Newbury today when the safest bet on the card may be David Morlev's French importation Valmony (3 30). who goes for the second division of the Freshman's Hurdle.

He showed tremendous potential when winning at Nottingham first time out. being in front for most of the vvav and quickening well for Ron Barrv to win by an easy two lengths from Sweet Joe.

Surely if a President were unable to fulfil her ideas in seven, or even five, years, either the administrative channels were too cumbersome, or she lacked the drive for such office.

LAWN TENNIS Boost as Coca Cola cash in By DAVID GRAY After the departure of Roth-mans, increased support from Coca Cola. The sports sponsorship scene brightened yesterday with the news that Coca Cola, who took over the British Hard Court Championships at Bournemouth from the tobacco company last year have signed a contract with the Lawn Tennis Association to sponsor the tournament for the next three years and have increased the 1976 prize money' from 35.000 to 51,000.

This year Bournemouth was one of the strongest tournaments of the season. Manuel Orantes, who later became the US Open champion, won it after Nastase had been disqualified in his semifinal against Patrick Proisy. With the extra prize money, which gives it greater status and an increased allocation of points the Commercial Union grand prix, it is expected to have another formidable entry. It will the only tournament in Europe in the week between May 10-May 16, clashing only with the Association of Tennis Professional's event at Las Vegas and a couple of Davis Cup matches. "We expect to have all the best clay court players," said David Lock, the chairman of the championship executive committee.

He commented that the new agreement was a gesture of good faith, which would ensure the future of the championships, From the company's point of view, it 'is an investment in the spectacular side of international tennis which will cost them due partly to the fall in the value ol the pound a total of (15,000 next year. They considered supporting some of the minor tournaments, which are seekine sponsors now that Rothmans have disappeared. In the end they decided they would rather increase their support for Bournemouth "a shop window for the game and the second most important British event. Eric Churchward, representing Coca Cola, yesterday said that thev rezard Bournemouth as a good opportunity for sponsorship and they wanted to make sure that a traditional event survives. "1 don't share the nessimism of some other sponsors although we recognised mat mere are some very real problems in tennis as there are in every sport." The men will have the bulk oE the prize-money 37,500 compared with an unchanged' 13.650 for the women.

That is because no one is terribly optimistic about the strength of the women's event. Almost all the ton women are committed to Team Tennis in the United States and best that the LTA can sa.v is that they have had with the Women's Tennis Association, who have promised the strongest pos sible entry. mere will be an innovation on the administrative side. George Hendon, who plaved a major part in Kotnmans early tennis sponsorship, has been appointed tournament director. Fred Uoyles, Mike Gibson's successor al Wimbledon, takes over as referee.

In May of this year, the Midland Counties tried to win a limit to the length of the office of Vice-presidents, a move defeated by a vote of 45 to 42 again the Midlands and North joined in a bid for change while the South and West were prominent in upholding the status quo. The arguments of those who cling to the old way mean that the talents of many potential candidates will waste away in the waiting the arguments also underestimate the knowledge and ability of the women of stature to become candidates for office. Most likely those candidates will have been members of the Executive Committee and therefore would not need quite two years to settle into the job and another two years at the end Guards officer Adrian Pratt made a fine start as a racehorse owner when Number Engaged, the first horse to carry Ins colours under rules, won the Slapton Handicap Chase at Towcesler yesterday but it cost him an extra 10.

Crisp at the annual meeting in May, 1976, has just been announced, Tributes will come later; now is the time to look at the open ended term of office which applies under the existing con stitution. Mrs Crisp's decision to resign after five years as President (having served one year in an acting capacity when her predecessor died suddenly) could lead the way to change and the coining months afford an opportunity to members to reappraise this unlimited term for high office. Sections of the All -England WIIA have favoured a limited period for some time.
