ROSEHILL GUINEAS TO HYDROGEN
(NX. Press Association—Copyright) - SYDNEY, September 16. The breakdown of Snowstream at Rosehill after winning the RosehiU Handicap in excellent style, and the announcement from Melbourne that True Course - will be withdrawn from the Metropolitan, have paralysed betting on the spring double. '
In the handicap Snowstream came into the straight eight lengths behind Golden Brew, but won by a long neck in time only a quarter of a second outside the course record. It is feared that damage to the suspensory ligament is permanent. Hydrogen strengthened his position as Derby favourite when he spreadeagled the opposition in the Rosehill Guineas. Though far behind at the half-mile he gathered in the opposition at a tremendous pace and won going away. Results:— ROSKHILL GUINEAS Of 2000gns. One mile and a quarter. HYDROGEN 8-5 .. ..
