WILL BE POOR

Fields In Thfe Two Classics

.Fields m the two classics at Trentham next month will be very . ' '' poor.'.-..'' ~ : <t . i JN the St Leger, Commendation is not going to have a great deal of'opposition. 1 ' -'"■',' L Limerick is .not engaged and this 1 will take all the interest out of the race. ''-.'•' Battlement will be a runner, and others engaged include Hynanria and Alloway.i •■■■'■; The . North Island Challenge Stakes does not contain the names of either Reremoana or Grand Knight. Lysander is m the list and- he will be the best of the older hprses. ! ; Several of the be^t of our two-year-olds are m the race. Gascony, Jericho, Siivermine and Damaris comprise a quartet „o f ' smart youngsters. ' Even at this stage there is every, indication that the races will be like contests of former years-— very thin fields and little to get excited about.
