Show TROTTERS AND PACERS RACE UNDER SADDLE The racing of trotters and pacers under saddle is a sport which, while not occupying occu-pying a particularly prominent place In the publlo eye. is rapidly growing in favor. At the horse show bold April 24 to 80 at Madison Square Garden, the first Indoor trotting and pacing meeting ever held will be pulled off. Last year at the horse show there were a few hastily arranged races on a poor track with flat turns which showed the possibilities of the Garden as a ra?e course. This year the meet will be held under the auspices of the National Trotting Trot-ting association, and a special track with banked turns will be built for the events. Beth Griffin, who built the Empire City track and other fast courses, has boen engaged en-gaged to design the track, which will be as fast as the short turns will allow. There have been purses of 1200 and 1X4 each hung up for nineteen pacing and trotting events and a large list of entries is expected. All . races for free-for-alls and the championship will be at half-mile heats, and all will ba under saddle. |
