TROTTING.
TRAINING WORK.
TIMES or TRIAIjS.
CANNOT NOW INFLUENCE HANDICAPPERS.
Now that the handicappers' powers have been limited and placed horses can only be penalised according to the table adopted at the conference this week, such should remove the strong objection trainers have had in the past to the publication of times registered in trials done by horses in training. In the galloping sport the times done in training are a feature of the reports, but because trotting handicaps have always been based upon time, and not poundage, the contention has been that no times done in training by trotters or pacers should be supplied to the public. However, this cannot hold good in future because nothing a horse may do in training can now influence a handicapper, and tlys' being so, the public who keep the sport going may expect more particulars of what is doing on the tracks than they have been accustomed to get in the past.
