TROTTING

FOUR-YE AR-OLDB

A race with new conditions and one that should prove a feature of the racing at Addintfton next month ie the Four-year-old Stakes of one mile and a quarter. The conditions provide for a penalty of 12 yards for the winner of one classic race and 24yds for more than one win, including Free-for-all racing. The three-year-olds of the season have proved particularly good and Walter Moore, Special Force, Ronald Logan, Gold Chief, Shadow Maid, Gold Flight and Peter's Find would m themselves provide a splendid contest. The committee reserves the right to select the field from the nominations received.
