RACING IN AUSTRALIA

TATTERSALL'S TOMORROW

Spring racing in Australia will be carried forward another stage tomorrow with the Tattersall's Club's Meeting at Sydney, one of the important fixtures leading up to the A.J.G. Spi-ing Meeting, which opens in three weeks' time.

The item of principal importance is the Chelmsford Stakes, a weight-for-age event with penalties and allowances, run over nine furlongs. ThL is the race in which Gloaming, with a 101b allowance, made his sensational debut in 191S, winning by eight lengths from the favourite Keljiis and nineteen other'runnels. Twice subsequently, as a seven and as a nine-year-old, Gloaming contested the Chelmsford, but Beauford beat him in 1922 and Heroic in 1924. In 1026, 1927, and 1928 Limerick was successful, and since then Mollison (Phar Lap second), Phar Lap, Ammon Ka, and Gaiue Carrington (last year) Lave successively been the winners, so it will be seen that New Zealand horses have had their full share of thehonours in recent years.

Tomorrow's Chelmsford carries a stake of £7JO. The Xew Zealand horses who were engaged were Autopay, Antique, Bay Tree, Limarch (Xew Zealand-bred), mixten (New Zealand-bred), Golden Hair, and Silver Scorn (Xew Zealand-bred), but of these only Silver Scorn, Limnrch, and Blixten remain, with Limarch alone carrying the colours of_a Dominion owner.

Two important handicaps are also on the day's card, these being the Tramway Handicap, 7 furlongs, and the Spring Handicap, Mi miles, both carrying a £500 stake. It was after running third to Sir Duninald and Tiugalba in the former of these last year that Mana Whenua came out again and sensationally won the latter from Version and Historic. New Zcnlnnders entered in tomorrow's Tramway were Autopay, Dole, Korokio, Golden Hair, and Movie Star. The representation in the Spring included Antique, Fairway, Koila Pen, Movie Star, and Master IJricrly.

The remaining throe events are the Ili-nsh Hurdles, of £250, 2 miles (with Mii.viicre and Hunt the Slipper); the Nov-ii-c Handicap, of- £300, l'/i miles (without Now Zealand representation); and the Welter Handicap, of £300, 1 mile (with •Safari, Persian, Korokio, Movie Star, and Hunt the Slipper). The Welter Handicap was last year won by Gold Mag.
