TURNED THE TABLES
Probably a good deal of money has been lost by Melbourne punters through history repeating itself. A year ago Hall Mark beat Waltzing Lily in the Underwood Stakes at Williamstown, and was then sent out an odds-on favourite_ for the Memsie Stakes, but he could finish only third to Waltzing Lily and Break Up. Last Saturday week Waltzing Lily was favourite for the Underwood Stakes, but Hall Mark won again. 'Then came the Memsie, and {Waltzing Lily turned the tables. Hall Mark has failed, several times at Caulfield, and is apparently not suited by that course.
The Riverton Racing Club occupies a prosperous position, and a further increase of stakes is contemplated for the next meeting. At last season's meeting the totalisator investments were £39,500 10s, as against £37,782 10s. The gate returns showed an increase of £523 59 Gd over the previous year, and the stakes, amounting to £4200, an increase of £230 over the previous season. The club has a credit balance of £6022 0s Gd.
