(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13) AUSTRALIAN CUP MARAUDER’S WIN TWO NEW RECORDS (Received March 6, 6.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, March 5. The weather was warm, .and there was a large attendance, for, the concluding day of the Victoria Racing Club’s autumn meeting at Flemington. Regular Bachelor finished brilliantly to win the Leonard Stakes. Amiable ran a good race. A wind assisted towards the fast time of the winner. Ajax had an effortless win in the Lloyd Stakes, the time being three-quarters of a second outside the Australian and. New Zealand record. He has now won £16,850. Out of 15 starts, he has had 11 wins and three seconds. Ajax, who is engaged in the Doncaster Handicap at Sydney, is likely to be reserved for weight-for-age races. Evening Mist's second was regarded as a good Doncaster effort, but Ajax outclassed his rivals. The champion Seymour broke down and was beaten into third place in the Autumn Steeplechase. , • . Marauder was badly placed early, but outstayed the opposition, In the Australian Cup. He has now won four races in succession. He began with a victory in the Trial Hurdles at Ascot in September. His rider, J. O’Sullivan, won the Melbourne Cup on Hall Mark. Marauder is raced by a prominent bookmaker, Mr Wallace Mitchell, who was a big winner as the result of the horse’s success. Le Grand ran a poor race, and was never near the leaders. Last year’s winner, Mutable, disappointed his supporters. There was an exciting finish in the Gibson Carmichael Stakes, Brethren winning in the last stride. Llmulet finished well when the race was all over. Grand Song was never dangerous. Northwind made a “return to form to win the Farewell Handicap, in which Mohican was a big disappointment. Results : ‘ . LEONARD STAKES, Of £7OO. Six furlongs.
