First Acre is among those entered for the Auckland Cup, and as the result of his efforts at the recent A.J.C. meeting at Randwick he has to be considered, for he won the Squatters' Handicap, one mile anad a quarter in good style in the smart time of 2.45, and on Saturday was just beaten by half a head in the' Waverley Handicap, one mile and three-quarters, after being prominent all the way. In October, 1927, Battlement won the Waverley Handicap, and in doing so created a track record for Randwick, which has not since been equalled. In the following December he finished third to Rapier and Count Cavour in the Auckland Cup.
