ORO THE METROPOLITAN

BREEDERS' PLATE TO GOLD ROD

United Press ■ Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, October 7. Fine and cool weather favoured the second day of the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meeting at Randwick today. The.tr.aek was in good order and the attendance was 64,000. Silver Jubilee,' on the strength of his brilliant effort in the Epsom; was installed as, a warm favourite for The S.horts. but failed to reproduce Saturday's run, ■::;■• .. •■'■„.. The Chief Ruler colt Gold Rod, bred in New Zealand: and purchased as a yearling on behalf of - Mr. E. J. Watt brilliantly won. the Breeders' Plate The colt, running prominently in the early stages, dashed to the front •passing the ieger and passed the-post with a four lengths' advantage.- His jockey, M. McCarten, was fined £5 by the starter for disobedience at the barrier . Grand sport led the Metropolitan lield to the turn and appeared likely to take _an active part in the finish, "but failed to run oh over the final stage. , The protest against High Cross in the Metropolitan was due to his crossing too sharply in front of Oro in the straight and checking the latter's progress, which is reported to have been very noticeable by the crowd. The jockey. Parsons, rider of High Cross happened to be the same jockey who had occasion, on.-Saturday to complain to the stewards of- interference with his mount, King's Head, who was ffpond in _the Epsom :to Synagogue. His objection, however, was not sustained. ,K. Voitre, rider of Sarcherie today, said ws'mount was beaten at the* turn into the straight. ■:■ Results, include:— ■ .•'... ■'. -■>'..■-• THE SHOKTS, £630; B -iutloags^ The .Marne,' 8;j •(Voitre)'-:'....-■'■- ' l Australia Fair, 8.4 (lUckej-) , •'""* ~ Kuyera, 5.7 (Pratt) ..,...'.j....'.;."""!*" 3 ..: Thirteen."'started.
