G. Murr.iy-Ayns ley's marc Disdainful, by i>jmiy Gum—Lady disdain, met with a mishap at lLccarton o.i 'i uesda.v which lias unfortunately ended

her riic.r.g career. It has utways been said that Desert Gold was barren, uid siie may be still, yhe is a live-yoar-oid, and a i»omewiia + similar cas

in some respects occuis wiuli Lord L'l'iin's Daughter, vrlu-, after being barren for live years, has at last tin-own a nliy. Lord Ollm s daughter is now in her 17ch year. Hoists mostly spoke about k-r the C'aulifield Cup are King Cffj, then Wcl;a\..i, followed by Ethiopian, then K-ici Locin Knsebius and Dunwil. I 4 or the Melbourne Cup, King Offa, Aich Marella, Kennaquhair together, followed by Lingle, Colbert, and Desert Gold. 'The following is taken foim a. Sydney exchange. —WeigM-for-age resul's have given backers shocks at d iff went times,' but there have been few greater upsets than the defeat of Desert Gold in the Spring Stakes, at Randwick. "Can't make any mistake here," was the general opinion of backers, and the} freely laid the odds of 4to 1 on asked by "the ''books" about the New Zealand mare. In fact the belief that they would bo almost giving money iw-'w if <hey took the odds caused some bookmakers to refrain from operating. Great wis the subsequent sorrow of those who adopted this'course, more es;)o' ril 1 ;-' of some who, in addition, de rired t> shave in (he "easy money" and bucked the favorite. Such a certainty was the race reckoned for Desert Gold, that in vi n w of Metropolitan possibilities, principal interest attached to what rritrht run second or third. In the ring Kennapuhair was second choice, and Prince VividJs third, while on t>" tntn 1 ! r -ator it was the other way round. Much ire investments on this nee totalled £8 318 jOs, of which £3.865 was on "Desert Gold, her t.ote price being about R to 1 on, but when she failed, her backers received 8s of each £1 they invested.
