ANOTHER EURYTIIMIO ?

GOOD COLT FROM PERTH

So brilliant was the victory of Hyper--ion in the, second division of the Lilliruini Two-year-old :Handicap: at Caulfiekl on; July 21 that already seasoned racing men; in. Australia are asking, "Has Jack Holt got another Eurythmic?"/ Should Hyperion, who was having his first race in' the - eastern States, improve' as expected, it is quite possible that Holt has got another champion. Hyperion, who is by Pantheon from Opera, a Comedy King mare, was the champion two-year-old of Western Australia during the Eeason, and lie was sent across to Holt iv the early winter to be prepared for the spring campaign. He had been back in work only a comparatively short time, and Holt, although ho thought the colt would run a good race, did not think it possible for him to win first time up. Consequently the stable investments on,him were very small, not amounting to a "pony" all told. Hyperion is owned by Mr. W. I-I. Vincent, a popular member of the W.A.T.C. Committee, who purchased him as a yearling at the Sydney sales last year for 250 guineas. He was one of the bargains of the sales, as he won several nice stakes in Perth, and the race in which he was successful at Caulfiekl was , worth nearly as much as ho cost his owner to buy. Tho manner .in. which he won.'the race indicates that there are certainly, many more successes ahead of him, and he might even be a Derby possibility. He won his race like a colt that will stay, and, bred as ho is, he should be capable oE getting a distance.

He is engaged in the Caulfiekl Cup at 7.5, and in the Melbourne Cup with 7.4. So impressed were tho bookmakers with 'the performance of the handsome black colt thafhis' price- for the Caulh'eld Cup came dowir with a run, and lie now occupies a. position, avith the Melbourne Cup winner, Hail Mark.
