TROTTING
CANTERBURY PARK CLUB TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS ASHBURTON’S PROTEST [ Per Press Association. ] CHRISTCHURCH, June 7. The troubles of the Canterbury Park Trotting Club are coming thick and fast. Two major problems will occupy the members of the committee at a special meeting to-morrow morning, one as to whether the club will race at Riccarton next Saturday or abandon the meeting, and the other a protest by the Ashburton Trotting Club, which has lodged an objection with the New Zealand Trotting Conference on the ground that the Ashburton Club is racing on Wednesday and wishes to have next Saturday free in the event of a postponement through bad weather conditions. The objection raised by Ashburton has created considerable stir, as this is believed to be the first occasion on which an application has been made to reserve a date. It is understood that several members of the committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club are willing that the Canterbury Park Club race at Riccarton. Owners and trainers feel that the Canterbury Park Club is under an obligation to hold the meeting, hs they have been put to considerable expense in keeping their horses in strict training for several weeks.
