Trial of the conpsirators involved in the betting scandal where the French race horse Francasal was replaced by ringer Santa Amoro in the Spa Selling Stakes at Bath racecourse in July 1953. Shortly before the race, a group of men placed large bets totalling over £3500 on the horse, cutting the telephone wires at the racecourse to prevent communication between the bookmakers, leaving them unaware of the large sums of money being put down. The horse came in at 10-1 but the win aroused suspicions and all payments of bets were withheld. The trial at the Old Bailey ended when the jury disagreed, resulting in a retrial where four of the five accused were found guilty and imprisoned. Picture shows: One of the accused Mr Maurice Williams, registered owner of Francasal and Santa Amaro, seen starting out on his five mile walk across Hampstead Heath.23rd July 1953.
