Count One To Stay Home

“The Press” Special Service MATAMATA. September 10. T. C. Alcock said today that Count One is to be withdrawn from his Australian engagements. His owner, Mr G. Millington, of Whangarei, has not been well and will not be able to make the trip. Wet tracks have prevented Count One having the preparatory racing his connexions would have liked. Count One has been the medium of quite a lot of Australian betting for the Caulfield Cup.
