Boz, the winner of the Caulfiold Cup, has this season won four races off the reel. Before Saturday's victory he had won throe races, carrying much heavier weights th-m / allotted to him in tho Caulfield Cup, but A incurred no penalty. Boz as a■'■wo-year- • old won the Hopeful Stakes at the V.R.C. i autumn meeting-, Lord Allen and Pakeha being his attendants. At the V A.T.L. meeting he won tho Federal Stakes, Bedouin and Escutcheon being tho others placed. Aa a three-year-old ho won the Telegraph Stakes at Bendigo and the Railway Handicap at Geelong. As a four-year-old he the Christmas Gift at W.lhamstown and the rich Standish Handicap at the V.R.C. meeting. MrS G CooVs bad luck stuck to him in the Caulfield Cup, for he only got second. m Cook is a bookmaker, who races to win, and who ß e horses are always nmuinß into places, because they are run out. Bravo, who should have won the race hwt yearfor after the jockey nearly sawed Ins head off to keep him from winning, for which the jockey was disqualified for twelve months-he got third, so ho again did on Saturday. On heavy ground, with a big weight up, it was a good performance.
The Teoman is considered to hji-«-e more than an outside show for the Melbourne Cup, so says a cable.
