CARIOCA BRILLIANT AT ROSEHILL

RECORD-BREAKING EFFORT AFTER BAD START

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) < (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, April 11. Carioca is at prohibitive odds for next < Saturday’s Doncaster Handicap, because ■ of his remarkable sprint success at Rose- 1 hill yesterday. s Badly left at the start of the Railway Quality Handicap, Carioca finished brilli- 1 antly to beat Karendi by a short halfhead, with Silver Phantom a head away, : third. The time of Imin 232 sec cut Isec off < the seven-furlong race record, held by j Tamaroa and Regoli. Carioca’s effort took on added value, because of an upset on the way to the i course. His float was held up on the road, i and the horse arrived at the course less than an hour before the race. As a result . of his virtual imprisonment in the float, Carioca was sweating heavily when he arrived at the course. Principal results:— ( RAWSON STAKES, Of £lOOO. Weight-for-age. Nine furlongs.
