A.J.C. Doncaster Handicap iN.Z. Press Association —Copyright) (Rec. 10 pan.) SYDNEY, Feb. 15. Punters at Rosehill yesterday backed Chipperfield, Fuss and the. New Zealand horse Second Earl to win the A.J.C. Doncaster Handicap. They coupled Chipperfield with nine prominent Sydney Cup candidates to win amounts ranging from £5OOO to £12,000. Both Second Earl and Fuss were taken with eight cup candidates, each to win £lO,OOO. The support forced bookmakers to promote Chipperfield to equal favourite with Bold Pilot and Skyline, but after his defeat in the Flying Handicap later in the day, Chipperfield was eased to the second line of favouritism.
