TROTTING
GOLD BAR TO ATTACK LAWN DERBY'S RECORD (P.A) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. A feature of the Canterbury Park Trotting Club's New Year meeting will be a race against time by the pacer Gold Bar. The programme committee met A. Holmes, the trainer of Gold Bar, and the following conditions were agreed upon:— If Gold Bar does 2.3 or better for the mile the prize will be £100; if 2.0 or better, £150; and if he equals Lawn Derby's record of 1.59 2-5, £250; if Gold Bar succeeds in beating 1.59 2-5, £300 will be awarded, and for every two-fifths of a second improvement another £50 will be given. F. Holmes, the owner of Grattan Loyal, sire of Gold Bar, will give a prize of £100 if Lawn Derby's record is broken. Gold Bar's fastest time for a mile is 2.3 3-5, and made under saddle it is easily the best recorded in the Southern Hemisphere.
