Immediate Sold Again A message from Australia reports that the former New Zealander Immediate has changed hands again. Immediate, who is favourite for the Villiers Stakes, to be run at Randwick this month, was sold on Saturday to Mr. Cecil S. Crouch, a Sydney business man. This is the first horse Mr. Crouch has owned. The horse remains in R. Mead’s stable. This is the second time Immediate has been sold since he arrived in Sydney and won the eventful Camellia Stakes at Rosehill last spring. He was loaded on a vessel lying in Sydney harbour and awaiting departure for the Dominion when he was bought at a high figure for Mr. A. Bennett. Immediate’s last win was in the Yan Yean Stakes at the Melbourne Cup meeting, when he beat a good field.
