EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Instrument gives the Racing Board power to calculate Totalisator Dividends to the nearest penny. The purpose of this change is to enable the Board to have a Unit bet of ten pence, with a dividend calculated to the nearest penny, instead of a Unit Bet of twenty pence with a dividend calculated to the nearest two pence.
