TROTTING

CREDITABLE TIMES (By “Overcheck.”)’ Following a discussion which I had with some trotting enthusiasts during the week concerning the achievement of Author Jinks in winning the Timaru Cup in 4;24 2-5 and the Rakaia Handicap of 1| miles at Ashburton in 2.42 3-5, a general talk developed on some of our best horses and their times. Subsequently I ran through the current season’s racing, and compiled a list of horses that had to their credit placed performances of 2.15 or better at a mile; 2.45 or better at 10 furlongs; 3.25 or better at a mile and a half; and 4.30 or better at 2 miles. The twelve furlongs list is a_ poor one, but it is, of course, unusual to find the very best of our horses racing over that distance. The following is the statement I compiled, and I am sui*e it will prove of great interest to those associated with the light harness sport:—
