MOONEE VALLEY MEETING. NIGHTLY "WINS GOLD CUP. CHATHAM THE COX PLATE. MELBOURNE, October 28. The New Zealander Nightly was not extended to win the Moonee Valley Gold Cup at the Moonee Valley races yesterday, and his performance was regarded as a great trial for the Melbourne Cup, in which he is now liable to a rcbandicap. Another New Zealander, Peter Jackson, won the Moonee Valley Cup last year, and yesterday's minor placegetters, Miramond and Upoko Ariki, were both bred in the Dominion. As was the case at Randwick, R. Reed successfully claimed the riding fee on Nightly. Streperus dropped dead shortly after the finish of the Moonee Valley Gold Cup. The New Zealand gelding Playground, who was running second, fell at the last fence in the Mia Mia Hurdles. His rider I. Tucker escaped injury. Silver Ring was outclassed in the W. S. Cox Plate and is better suited in handicap events. Golden Hair and Royal Hunting failed to show up in the Dundonald Handicap. The winner of the race Double. Bard, a four-year-old gelding by Double Court from Scabbard, has won four of his last five starts. Results :— MOONEE VALLEY GOLD CUP of £3000, including cup valued at £200.
