GOOD DERBY TRIAL

THE HOBARTVILLE STAKES

(From "Vedette/) , ; SYDNEY, August; 30. A big field of twenty in the Hobarfc ville Stakes at Warwick Farm, on Saturn day was remarkable for the complete absence of fillies. It provided-a-very easy Victory for Silver King. > No matter -whether Silver King'makes a Derby'colt or not he will .win his share of races. With his great speed it is to be hoped that he is not-spoiled by being raced over the Derby course if he. does not look capable of it.; His owner-trainer, E. F. Walker,.knows what is required arid is not likely to inako nny.mistake. ;.'f.V ■" .■./.,' • • ;.-■ .;

Silver. King .was, in front in a fewstrides, in the Hbfeairtyill.e <! Stakes and won.; easily ifrom'th'o .'-"New Zcalander Custodian'.and:'l>uk6 Cale'don. Silver Kingj'who.is a.soii of the! Tracery horse El Caciqiie, came into!. prominence only late in the past season. The.Hobartville provided his third win. Naturally his stamina and Derby^ prospects are being keenly discussed. Thero is no reason why he should not. stay on as well as any of his opponents of last Saturday. Custodian, although,\he ran jon well for a solid second, was ltfcky to beat Duke Caledon. Custodian,sailed np on tho inside, while' Duke Caledon was on thel outside. In addition Duko Caledon was all at sea on tho soft ground and only courage took him up into third place. ;"i Marcus Cicero also, represented the Dominion. He was bustled along early to hold fifth, place most of the way ; but lie did not come home too well._ The Maribyrnong Plate winner. Pasha is no good at all/ in mud,, so his very, .poor display is possibly explained this way. = • Theo'-. (Limond—Mirabelle), who represented Mr., E. Moss instead of the other Limond.colt Sir John, was inter-,j fered with at the end of two furlongs when Sylvandale fell and Hope fell over] him. Theo,was well back at the time so probably he would not' have been in the'money anyway. Theo has developed into a good typo of colt and should bo more than average quality. Gladswood (Limond—Curtain) fan just fairly. Beally good showings went to.-the credit of Subsidy, Heritor, and.^The Raider. The last-named lsvby Night Said from ValieaTC. . Of the staying types none looks more Kkeiy;lhan/Subsidy. :~ . ■:..■" -.•■;/.■.;•■. .■■■-■ '. '■■.^- ■ '
