Influential racing leaders argued that their activities were vital to the economy, tax revenue and maintaining morale in a society under pressure. They condemned their critics for exploiting wartime conditions in the service of pre-war agendas. But by mid-1917 claims that racing was an unproductive and unpatriotic luxury that undermined the war effort finally gained traction with a New Zealand government that generally displayed a single-minded and austere commitment to the war effort. The surprise is not that racing was partially restricted, but that the measure took so long to enact. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of War & Culture Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
