THE ROSEHILL MEETING. CHATHAM THE KILL STAKES. SILVER KING THE GUINEAS. SYDNEY, September 15. Chatham continued his run of successes by winning the Hill Stakes at Roseliill | yesterday. Although challenged and pressed by Closing Time, he won comfortably "by three-quarters of a. length, with Nightly two and a half lengths away third. Nightly pulled up slightly lame. The weather was warm. Silver King scorcd a decisive victory in the Roseliill Guineas, the New Zealandbred colts Gladswood and Theo running second and third. Care Free won the Camellia Stakes from Roman Spear and Blixten. The Masquerader finished fourth, after striking trouble when making a brilliant run in the straight. Autopay, who got badly away from the barrier, was twelfth. Oro narrowly defeated Braeburn in the Roseliill Spring Handicap, with the light weight lolaus third. Topical finished fourth and Limarch fifth. The Brush Hurdle Race, one mile and a half, was won by Newbold Boy, who just beat Greensea by a neck. Greensea carried the staggering burden of 13.13 and received a great ovation. Clangor, 9.0, was third. | Capris ran fifth in the first division of the High-weight Handicap, in which Royal Amphora was unplaced, and Dole was third in tlie second division, in which Ivinaof Diamonds was unplaced.

On the charge of obtaining £15 from the Murray Bridge Racing Club by falsely pretending that a certain horse entered by him for tlie Trial Stakes was Redlock, the trainer Charles Prince was committed for trial. Walter Rowe, Government analyst, stated that some hair removed from the horse alleged to be Redlock yielded a dye. NOTES ON RECENT FORM. A GREAT FINISH. Rogilla and Peter Pan staged a great finish to the Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick last Saturday week. As usual Rogilla tailed the field in the early part, and it was not until five furlongs from homo that lie commenced to move up. Peter Pan, who had been about the centre, gradually overhauled the leaders from the half-mile, and at the Leger Peter Pan, Rogilla, Gladswood, The Maine and Nightly were roughly in fine. Then Rogilla and Peter Pan singled themselves out. Rogilla, under the whip, gradually forged ahead. Meantime, Peter Pan, on whom J. Munro was particularly vigorous, curled up a little later under the punishment he was receiving. Rogilla drew out and beat him by half a length amidst a good deal of excitement. 'While the honours of the race were with Rogilla, Peter Pan did well for his first effort alter his winter spell. He is not the first horse who has shown evidence of Monro's riding, but his weakness was not particularly heartening. Nightly was a little "proppy" going to the post, and although he had the run of the race he was beaten into fifth place. Theo'e effort suggested that he would do better later on, but Duke Caledon and Marcus Cicero both disappointed. PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT. Some time ago when news of the big New Zealand invasion of Australia was broadcast, there were loud complaints from the Dominion that racing there was being left to the moderates (says a Sydney writer). From the performances of the New Zealand horses in Sydney to date, if the strength is here it is not overpowering. Silver Ring lias to be au exception, for he has not been seriously tested as yet, owing to bad tracks, and Golden Hair and', some of the two-year-olds may do something to ease the position. On what has been seen of all the others, they will liave to be placed very carefully to win. Golden Wings is good, but he has a "ood j horses's weight. Nightly, The Masquerader, Diatomous and Marcus Cicero have /lisappointcd and none of the others appeal 1 as Randwick winners.

GAINE CARRINGTON'S MISFORTUNE Hopes that Game Carriugton would win a race this spring, even if he should fail to reproduce his outstanding form of Inst vear, are gradually receding, and whether the 1933 Caulfield Cup winner will even run* again is now doubtful. Game Oairington was moving along nicely in bis preparation at Caulfield until a fortnight ago, according to his owner, Jack 1 lullips, but in a track trial he jarred his good lc" and it is feared that lie has developed a splint. The full extent of the injury will not be known for another week, but little hope is entertained that he will recover before the important Melbourne meetings. Gnine Harrington was no entered for either the Caulfield Cup or the Melbourne Cup, but, had he continued along the right lines in his preparation, ho would probably have 1 been given his chance in the w.f.a. events at l'lemington, and his connections believed that lie would have turned the tables oil liogilla. who beat him in both the Melbourne Stakes and the C. B. Fisher Plate last year. FOUR TO THE DOMINION. New Zealand owners were represented in five of the six races at lattersall s meeting at Raudwick last Saturday week, but a victory did not come their way. \t Kpsom (Melbourne), however, they had quite a field day, four of the winners being from the Dominion—Radiant Star, Sir Simper, and Irish Chieftain. Chief among them was Sir Simper, the Caulfield Cup aspirant, who completed the hat-trick bv winning the Epsom Centenary Gold Cup. In doing so he put up a brilliant performance, for he jumped away smartly, and wats one of the leaders at the end of the first furlong. By the time the straight was reached lie was in front of Gay Girl and Mystery Ship. He ran on well, and had three-quarters of a length to spare from Streperous, who met with a lot of trouble. Sir Simper had all his trouble at the start, when he was interfered with by King Colossus, who gave the most stubborn display of his career. Radiant Star won the first division of the Trial Handicap with great ease, and now has the distinction of winning the only two races in which he has started. ONE OUT OF THREE. It would not have caused any great surprise had the Randwick trainer T. Jamieson won three races at Sydney Tattcrsall's last Saturday week (says a Sydney writer), for he appeared to be well represented by the brilliant sprinter Closing Time in the Tramway Handicap, the St. Leger winner and Metropolitan favourite, Limarch, in the Spring Handicap, and High Degree and Koda Pen 111 the Welter ; Handicap. Closing Time was apparently not greatly fancied, for he went out at a double-figure price. Still, he was expected to run a much better race than was forthcoming from the Tippler horse, who evidently does not appreciate a soft course. Limarch was the medium of exceptionally heavy wageting on the Spring Handicap, starting a solid favourite. Although beaten, lie ran a very creditable race and it was practically only in the last stride that Journal took third money from him. Jn the Welter Handicap, however. Jamieson displayed excellent jujlo* merit. He preferred Koda Pen to High Degree, who was withdrawn on the course. The presence of Regal Son in the race meant a satisfactory price about all of his opponents, but it was somewhat remarkable to see the quote available in a number of places about Koda Pen after a couple of points shorter for comparatively big amounts had been accepted in several quarters. Baltic jumped Koda Pen out smartly, and was content to allow him to hold a forward position early without actually urging him to leadership. Approaching the straight entrance Buonarroti, the pace-maker, seemed to be going particularly well, and there were indications that he was anxious to secure a break on the field. In these tactics Bartle also desired to participate, with the result that Koda Pen and Buonarroti came round the turn lengths ahead of the remainder, and it was immediately realised that the finish rested between them. Nearing the furlong post, S. Weiss was compelled to draw the whip on Buonarroti. The horse bounded forward and gained a slight advantage, but Bartle, displaying the greatest confidence, relied on hands and' heels. Koda Pen gradually wore Buonarroti down to have a neck to spare at the judge. The feature of the wagering was the demand for 1 eter Pan's stable mate Deputy Ruler, who carriers the colours made famous by Amounts. Deputy Ruler was backed early for large amounts, one wager bei.ig £1000 to £50. He started a firm equal second favourite with Canegrass. Xo excuse could be found for his defeat bevond the nature of the going, for he held a prominent position m running until pressure was applied, when Koda Pen rushed up to Buonarroti.
