THIRTEEN IN A CLUSTER
The more one reflects on the Trotting Cup, the more confirmed becomes the impression that the 4min 26sec limit was a mistake (says the "Timaru Herald"). The, hope that sectional prizes would, prevent the field from bunching was not .materialised. Only one driver1 displayed any interest in the lap money, with the result that one horse-was out in front, 13 were racing in a cluster, and two (Indianapolis and Willow Wave) were away in the rear. It was obvious that some of the runners, though not far from the front, would require a lot of luck to get a run, and five furlongs from home a collision resulted in the extinguishing of the chances of King's Warrior and Indianapolis, and aj diminution of that of De Soto. It is fairly safe to prophesy that next j'.ar the limit will be tighter.
