TROTTING

TO-DAY’S PROSPECTS Abel Tasman and Silverlight have come into favour for the Cheviot Cup, the main event at the Cheviot Trotting Club’s meeting, which will- be held at Rangiora to-day, and they are expected to extend the favourite, Volo Lad, over the concluding stages of the two-mile journey. Peter’s Pal - a consistent Quite Sure gelding from R. Townley’s stable, has only finished out of the money iff three of his 12 races this season, and together with Theabelle, which is trained at Addington by L. O. Thomas, he may offer most opposition to Volo Lad, Abe! Tasman, and Silverlight at the finish. The Domett Handicap, a race for maiden trotters, has attracted a field of 26, and unless withdrawals are heavy ic will be run in two divisions.
