TROTTING NOTES

By the Sporting Editor December 13 .. .. New Brighton T.C. December 26 .. .. Ashburton T.C. December 26 .. .. Gore T.C. Jottings Nominations for the New Brighton meeting are due to-day. Highland Dale has been turned out for a spell. ' The main races at the Canterbury Park meeting on January 1 and 2 will have Stakes of £2500. They are 3min 33sec class events of one mile and five furlongs. Likely Improver Kimono Girl is a likely improver by Lucky Jack from Oriental Star and is trained by F. Lynch at Rolleston. Disappointing The disappointing St. Phils has been nominated for the two trotting events at Tapanui. She is one of the type that leaves its track form at home on race days. Engaged at Tapanui Sir Hall was raced 15 times last season, his record being one win, two seconds, and a third. His win was scored in the Trial Handicap at Wyndham. He went 3min 41 2-ssec from a 3min 53sec mark and his winning margin was 10 lengths. The Dillon Hall gelding will have his next race at Tapanui. Dillon Hall Mare

Mischievous,, who has been nominated for Tapanui, is a four-year-old mare by Dillon Hall from Monaive, by Logan Pointer from Galindo Lou, by Galindo from Reta Bell, by bellman from a Berlin mare. She had four unplaced starts last season.

Bright Prospects One of the best prospects among the intermediate trotters is Sure Harvest, his win Over two miles in 4min 24 3-ssec at the Metropolitan meeting being an outstanding performance He also ran a good fifth in the Free-for-all after breaking and losing a lot of ground. If he is taken to Auckland he should pay expenses.

Record Entry For Classic Some idea of the exLent of the breeding side of ‘the light harness sport in Southland can be gained from the record entry of present yeai lings for the 1950 Wyndham Juvenile Stakes.
