SIGNOR: BEATEN IN RECORD TIME,

Pendil'fc time.for the Champion Stakes establishes-a world's record for.'thrift miles, and as it clips no less thaii lßsco. off the. previous best it will, probably stand for a long. time. Previous, best times over three .miles were srain. 22see'., Eli© (7st. 21b.'), at Oakland; U.5.A.,. in 1905, and omin. 23} sec., registered by Wallace (7st. 121b.) and Quiver (Bst.. 111b.).' when they dead-heated, in the Champion Stakes, irt ' March, 1896. . Gignor, who acted as runner-ujVto Pendil, holds the 'Australasian record,, 3miri. 53 2-sscc., (or 'two milfcs atld ft quarter, which ho established at Riccarton in the Canterbury Cup 'last November .""As statOdin Thursday's.issue, tho scale of weights in the Champion Stakes is all in', favour of good three-year-olds, and horses of this age win two out, of every three, contests for the, ovent. Great stayers .like Carbine,. La Carabine, Wakeful, Tartari, •and Dividend havo beaten good three-year-olds in the Champion .Stakes, hut such victories are the exceptiou, rather than the rule. It will be seen, therefore, that in being sjent out to jwiii this race, Signer had whit from past experience lboked _ on. extrcmOly difficult task before him. With Mooltan hors de combat, Peru gOlio to India, and King' Cross - not entered, it seemed that Mr. Moore's horse wculcl- have to expect most trouble from the ihree-year-old Lord Nolan,, winner of the Melbourne. Cup, but on the er6 of the meeting the latter contracted a cold, which, prevented his fulfilling any engagements. On the first diiy of the fixture, Pendil beat SigriOr in the Essendon Stakes, weight-fOr-age, and it. wis at oncA sOen that the Canterbury Cup winner would havd. to expect trouble in tho Australian Cup and Champion Stakes, for here was a thrte-year-old' who WOulcl have'a big pull in the weights hi ijoth events. Carrying topweight in tho AiSralian Cup,. Sigiior was beaten fairly comfortably. but he made; a great, bid for victory in the Champion Stakes, and after making nearly all his own paoO, lie wai only beaten'by a head in world's record time.

■Just what a wonderful performance both horses have registered wifl be understood when it is stated that for the- whole 24.fnrl.ongs they kept up an average o.f 12 2-3 sec. In beiftg' beaten, with 9st-. in such terrific time, Signer has not. lost his. right to he ■ dubbed a really great horse. Peiulil, the winner,,, started seven times at two years, without winning a race In November, last 'bo won the Maidon Plate,, one mile, and the .Qarnival Handicap, oho mile: and a quarter, at the V.R.C. spring meeting, and at the present fixture his victories include the Essendon Stakes-,'Australian Cup, and Champion- Stakes.
