ATHENIC GOES LAME. ———— . „■».-• By Cable. — Press Association. — Copyright. . MELBOURNE, February'-8. It is reported that after exercising yesterday Athenic, the Newmarket favourite, pulled up lame. . ' .';' . [Last season Athenic, who is owned by Mr E. J. Watt, proved to be one of the smartest two-year-olds racing in Australia. During the first part of the present season his form was disappointing, and the fact of his being favourite for such 'a* race as the Newmarket Handicap; in which he was weighted at 8.9, a pound over weight-for-age, comes as something of a surprise, when lnsßandwick form is taken into consideration.] (Received February. 9, 9.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, February 9. It is stated that Athenic's trouble id in the vicinity of the fetlock. The trainer says there is little hope of the horse filling its Newmarket engagements.
