FLEMINGTON RACES

High Caste’s Effortless Victory ALL LOVE DOWNED Sensation In Ascotvale Stakes (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.— Copyright.) (Received March 6, 9.20 p.m.) MELBOURNE, March 6. The weather was fine and there was a good attendance at Flemington today for the third day of the Victoria Racing Club’s autumn meeting. Bureaucrat had a comfortable win in the Autumn Hurdle Race, but the overconfidence of the jockey nearly brought defeat. He eased his mount and did not notice King’s Warden, who just failed to get up. Dominex weakened. Pauline, who was fifth in the early stages, defeated the pacemaker, Averne, in the Northcotc Handicap. Throttle was a moderate third.

High Caste secured an effortless victory in The King’s Plate. Positron, who had a big load early in the race, was no match in the final stages. Saul was a poor third. High Caste has now wou £29,525 in stakes. High Road created a major sensation in downing All Love in the Ascotvale Stakes. All Love looked like a winner a furlong from home, but High Road finished brilliantly. Tea Cake was a moderate third. High Road cut in sharply when passing All Love, who nearly fell. Sir Locket, who was always prominent, defeated the fast-finishing Federal, who was last at the straight entrance, in the Apprentice Handicap. Spanish Main was a moderate third. There was an exciting finish in the. River Handicap. Sun Belle defeated Reading and El Golea in the last stride. E! Golea showed that he is fully recovered from the effects of the shooting in mistake for Beau Vite in the spring. Reading had an excellent race.
