RECORD STILL STANDING
When the stake-winnings of Mollison. at two years old were chronicled in 1928 the prediction was offered in Sydney that the record would probably stand for some years, and at an interval of. eight years there seems little likelihood of its being approached. It has, of course, to be borne in mind that prize-money now is much below that which ruled when Mollison scored his record. The following is a list of the stakewinnings by leading two-year-olds on the Australian Turf:— £ Mollison, by Kn-omniid 17.51S Royal Feast, by King Offa 13,119 Kuvera, by Brazen Heroic, by Vnlais Hfimpinn. hy Uossendnlc 10.-15 Ammon Rn, by Limoml S.OfW* Young Idwi, by Constant Son .. Hall Mark, by Heroic Gobi Rod, by Vhh-X Ruler 5 "Including £273."» won in New Zealand.
Five of the nine horses included in the above statement were bought at auction for the following amounts:— Royal Feast, 700 guineas; Kuvera. 270 guineas; Heroic, 1800 guineas; Young Idea, 500 guineas; and Gold Rod, 350 guineas. Mollison was bought provately when a foal for £600.
