Trotting Championship. In winning the Now Zealand Championship, a special race for three-year-olds, at the Timaru Trotting Chib's meeting on Saturday. Special Force proved himself a pacer of outstanding merit, one of the best of his age ever raced in Now Zealand. Though Certissimus made two bad mistakes in the running ho showed phenomenal speed at different stages of the race. The event created the greatest excitement and fully justified its inclusion on the programme. To the surprise of many Certissimus

was actually the quickest to begin, while Special Force began badly and was quickly several lengths in (lie rear of the field. Gallagher allowed (he colt 10 plod along behind the field for three furlongs, bill when asked a question Special Force improved his position, and. rounding the top turn, ho commenced Io pass his field. A! the end of half a mile, run in 1.1(1 2-5. Ccriissi-

mus broke and lost ground, and Special Force moved up to join Statuette in the lead, the pair being followed by Ronald Logan. Gold Chief. Walter Moore and Shadow Maid, with Certissimus last: Down the back stretch Special Force was pacing along comfortably in front while Certissimus had again settled down to what appeared a hopeless task. Two furlongs from home hi- apjx'ared to have a chance, but another break settled his chances. Statuette was the only one handy to Special Force, and, while the latter only won by three-quarters of a length, he had plenty in reserve. In third place was Walter Moore, who finished belter than Shadow Maid and Gold Chief. Ronald Logan broke up and Certissimus was not persevered with Special Force prove-.! himself beyond all question the best three-year-old in Now Zealand, and. while the time 3,20 4-:> has been beaten previ<ai-l> this y.-ar, it represented a good p-erfi rmance The first half mile was slow, i 1.10 2-5. the mile took 2 )5 4-5 ;md the, mile and a quarter 2 48 3-5 —— .
