Auckland Trotting Spring Carnival

ACCEPTORS’ LIST FINE FIELDS ENGAGED TIIO spring carnival of the Auckland Trotting Club opens at Epsom on Saturday*-, October 26, and will reach finality two days later, Labour Day. The response from owners at the call for nominations was of a liberal nature and is again reflected in the list of acceptances. High-grade trotters and pacers will be seen in action at Alexandra Park, and the approaching fixture promises to be a big success from every viewpoint. Acceptors are as follow: W A TT’TT'A'T Ann A WA TSTTATr* AT»

It is a long time since a three-year-old won the New Zealand Cup. Indigo, who dead-heated with Warstep in 1914, was the last horse of that age to score, but in recent years not many three-year-olds have attempted the Cup. This is due to the fact that owners do not like giving their Derby candidates a hard race in the important twomile race for fear that such a task would prejudice their classic prospects. In Australia, both the Victoria and A.J.C. Derbies are run on the open- \ ing day of the spring carnivals, and if the C.J.C. held the three-year-old race on the Saturday it is probable that the ■ placed horses in the Derby would proi bably encourage their owners to let j them have a shot at the Cup. At least i this is an opinion that is becoming I more prevalent as each. Cup carnival i passes. 1..
