LIMITED FIELDS
A Pressing Question MUSI BE TACKLED SGON (From "Truth's" Special Auckland Representative). As time goes on with everincreasing fields m harness events the trotting heads will have to tackle the question of limiting their fields as it has been found necessary to do m the other branch of racing (galloping). 1C not, it is just on -the cards that something serious will happen along. In the Mangare Handicap event at Alexandra Park last Saturday no fewer than 22 horses were harnessed up for competition, and just as they rounded the home bend with the pace right on, down went one of their number" which brought about the falling of three others. So far as the actual winner and placed horses were concerned it probably made no difference to the result for they were clear. ■ The accident came from those m the' second bunch and the wonder is that something more serious did not happen as a result of the tangle.
