AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST STAKE

WINNER,

CARBINE'S RECORD BROKEN

Far ever thirty years Carbine’s etok® winnings of £29,626 stood ao a record for Australasia. Tho very fact that it lasted that long indicates its value. If it were gauged by present-day stakes it would amount to over £49,000. Poseidon. Trafalgar Cotigne, Desert Gold, Gloaming, and Poitrcl in turn threatened danger to the record, but failed, On Saturday, February 25 Eunrthnao put the coping-stone on his brilliant" efforts by winning tho Futurity Stakes with a 201 b penalty. Tho £2,100 he won then gave him a clear-cut load over “ old Jack,” and tho amount has &mpo been added to. Like Carbine, the non of Eudorus has shown h» ability to win over all distances, and by doing so has proved, more than mere figures can, bis claim to all-round championship. It wiil bo interesting io place* m parallel columns tho record -which has stood atnoo ICED c«d tho figures which have beaten it.

Grand total - In an article on which was tho greater horse, Carbine or Eurythmic, a Sydney writer says:—lt may not, perhaps, be out of place to refer to tho race in which Carbine finished last in a field of four, tho only time tho champion finished out of a place, duo to breaking down with a split jioof, us incidentally it will serve te illustrate the hind of horse that ho had to race and beat ip those days. The Canterbury Plate, riiii'on the concluding day of the Y.R.C. Spring Meeting coma Unity ycuis back, was a nice that, even at this distance of time, remains vividly in memory bv reason nf a wonderfully-sustained finbilling run, put up by tho winner, Abcrconi. The starters wore Carbine, Abercorn, Melos, and Sinecure, who wore favored by punters in that order, the larinamed. in the same ownership as Al*rcorn. being considered such a negligible quarititv that tbo, odds nmrdmnte would qn;;o rordiiv have laid hundred;; to ono against him could they 1 if,re found anyone to buck him. Tho race. —two miles—wre not run at a frst pace, and, while too riders of (he three* cracks wore intent upon watching each other. Husky, on Sinecure, got a break on the field, and must have boon half a furlorg in tho lead when they approached the home stretch. The other jockeys realised tho danger, and sot about the herculean task of bridging Use gap. It was just about this time that Carbine's bound Sioof wont back on him, and he fell out of tho race. In the meantime Aherrorn bad streaked clean away from Melos, red, though Sinecure was full of running, and was no slouch at that, Items essayed and achieved (ho seemingly impossible, and with a da.sslin;; run caught and passed bun a length or two from the winning post u. the accompaniment of scene which can only bodes. jibed as a little pandemonium. Abercorn had .almost as many admirers us Carbine, ami ir. any continuation oi the controversy M to which was tho greatest Australian racehorse he is, in ray opinion, entitled to quite rb much consideration as Eurythmic, Poitrol, or any of (ho other chamoious of the last decade. I, myself, all hough with by no moans an obsession in furor of tho crackcrjacks oi other days, would give pride of place for all-round brilliancy to Carbine, and would leave the admirers oi tho others te decide among themselves how- the other places should be filled.
