Change of Luck: L. Dulieu, ’who went to Melbourne to ride Royal Visitor in his’ engagements there, exprienced a run of illfortune with the New Zealander and other horses he rode, but his luck changed at Moonee Valley on August 16, when he brought home Talkette, third favourite in a nine-furlong welter, and Playground, which won yesterday. Dulieu is now in Sydney, and rode Jayson when he finished third in the Brush Hurdles at Warwick Farm on Saturday. '
