“A MOST STARTLING EVENT.’’ (Received This Day, 11. IQ a.in.) SYDNEY, Tins Day. The “Sydney Morning Herald” says that the 1935 Metropolitan Handicap will go down in Turf history as one of the most startling events decided at Rand wick. In a great struggle, High .'Cross, who was showing the effects of a strenuous race, hugged in and' impeded the progress of Curator, after which he rushed toward the rails, causing interference to Oro. The latter responded gallantly, but could not quite get on terms with High Cross. Until he began his erratic course in the straight High Cross had run an excellent race. Sarcherie was a disappointment. Contact put up an excellent performance, being third to last at one stage of the race. The New Zealander Grand Sport essayed 1 an all-the-way win, but had run himself out three furlongs from home. Berestoi suffered a severe check at the half-mile and suffered cut legs.
