The indictment adequately alleged a conspiracy to win by false practice under s.16(1)(a); surplus words concerning 'attempting' were immaterial; a conspiracy to fix races embraces both betting arrangements and race plans so that giving support to either establishes liability as a conspirator; overt acts may be used to infer participation; assessment of expert evidence and weight of patrol films is for the jury; no misdirection caused prejudice and conviction stands.
