TROTTING.
NEW ZEALAND CUP. EXTENDING THE LIMIT. TO ENSURE GOOD FIELD. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Although a number of horses are eligible to compete in a 4.26 class, it is doubtful if enough are available for the next New Zealand Trotting Cup, that is, if the race is restricted to those horses that are on 4.26, or faster marks. Officials of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club hoped that two or three horses would qualify at the August meeting, but only Wild Guy reached the necessary grade. To ensure the big race in November being a success, fresh blood is needed, and the club may make the conditions for horses assessed at 4.27 or faster, but the limit will be 4.26. That would enable War Buoy and Tempest to compete in the next cup. The field then may consist of War Buoy, Wild Guy, Tempest, Red Shadow, Glenrosaie, Indianapolis, Blue Mountain, Roi l'Or, Harold Logan, Worthy Light, Impromptu, Lindberg, Silver de Oro, Sunny Morn and Sir Guy.
