RAND WICK RACES CUDDLE BADLY BEATEN CHELMSFORD STAKES TO BE ILL!ANT ROD SPRING STAKES TO SATMOTTT STRANG-E INCIDENT IN HURDLES WINNING JOCKEY HAS TO BE CARRIED TO SCALES (U.P.A. by Flee. Tel. Copyright). (Received Sept. 13, 6.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, Sept. 13. The defeat of Cuddle who failed to get a place in the Tramway Handicap, was a severe shock for a host of admirers at Tatvrsalls races at Randwick yesterday. She was well placed along with: The Marne until nearing the turn, where the latter left betstanding, and she came home weakly in. ninth place. The Marne and Panax fought nut a: thrilling fiii'sh. Gay Blonde distinguished herself by coming smartly from well back lo finish strongly in fifth place. Sporting Blood and Silver Streak never threatened {longer. Tlliurn was a bad last. The Marne'carried 81b.. over his Epsom handicap and meets Panax on 131 b. better terms in the Epsom. New Zealand bred horse-s were well to- the fore in other events,, notably tho Chelmsford Stakes, which was won 4w the brilliant Gold Rod, with Mala '.and Gustos in the other places. Silver Ring was. a good fourth. Main’s whirlwind finish was the much stronger topic than Gold Rod’s victory. Tho latter, galloping easily, turned into the straight with several lengths lead, and,, just when the public were proclaiming his easy victory. Mala unwound a, terrific run. and got within half a length of the- winner. The concensus of l opinion, however, was that Gold .Rod was eased up. Gustos showed much better form than in the Canterbury Gu’ncas. Sylvandale and Lough Neagh, were: nrver in the hunt. Brazilian won the first division’of the Novice. Handicap in stylish, fashion after playing up at the barrier. Corne Abbas, was ahva.vs handy, finishing a good fourth «md is expeted to improve.

Ridden by Knox, who wav recently injured, Irak, winner of the 'second division of. the-Novice Handicap by 3.v lengths*, ’beat Brazilian’s! tone by 1.1 (seconds, which is regarded as a, particularly crcclitabld effort. The At banian fin’.shod sixth in Brazilian’s pace, while Hands Up and Eaepata wore unplaced in Irak’s race. Satmoth had ai stirring duel with Wykeman' in the Spring Handicap, and triumphed bv half a, head. Golden Treasure, although it searned dan geroms a.fc one stage, was unable to sustahi its run. and finished a fair th/rd. ■Golden .Chance., ridden a skilful raci.' iin a. crowded field, won the Reiter Handicap narrowly but impressively. On Parade ran wide but .was always prominent and should do better shortly.

An unprecedented incident occurred in the Trial Hurdles, won by Musician, ridden by A. Dyer. The latter had!, to be carried to the scales in a semi-conscious condition. Tie received a severe knock on the nose at the first jump and was unable to remember anything afterwards, yet bo went on to win. While unsaddling,, Dyor fainted and was unable to walk to the scales. Consequently, he was carried to them by the stpendiary steward, Mr L. Frazer, and the judge, Mr Dudley Smith. The rules permit this to be done but, actually., this is the. first time it has had to be resorted to, - ■

In a thrillimr finish for r.ho Mooneo Valley Stakes, of £1025, Silver Re : ?,n lasted long enough to, ct feat the fast finishing Boongarry by half a nock in record time.

WIN FOR LIMONI) LAD UJ.PA. by Klee. Tel. Copyright). ADELAIDE," Sr lit. Id. At the Fort Adelaide Racing Club races, the Port Adelaide Gunoas resulted: Lirnond Lad. 8.5 (Bastian) 1, Gold Tress, -8.5 (Selby) 2 ; Brave Lad 8.5 (Sharp) 3. Won by two lengths NOTES AND NEWS. The Doncaster Cup resulted.—Burleigh, 1; Enfield, 2; Valerius, ,‘L Six started. Won hy Is. lengths, and six lengths. —Press Assn. * « * The la te Richard John Ala son was a great believer in testing his pupils wearing similar plates to what they raced in, and when once questioned on the matter by ono of the Australian educators who favored heavy shoes for rehearsals, replied: “It is a! 1 wrong not to do what I do. In my early days if won a great number of pedestrian events and 1 never wore bluchers when 1 was training for a Vaco. If it is right for a man, isn’t it right for a horse?” The successes

of Mason with the gee-goes was a household word both in the Dominion and' the Commonwealth, proving that h 1 knew the business from Alpha, to Omega.

Although not included in the list fo* the Flying Handicap to be run on the. first day of the Avondale meeting, Solaria has been enterdd fox tiie chief sprint event, on the-second day of that fixture. His last success Was registered at the Opotiki meeting in He Farewell Handicap, of six furlongs, and ho has not raced since; Solaria subsequently joined F,. Iyeefiing’s team at To A rob a, and latest reports indicate that tlio chestnut gelding is training on satisfactorily -at that centre.

Many of the stocked All Black .displayed jumping ability, one being Pericles, winner of the A.J.C. Steeples, while liis son,' El Dorado, is also siting steeplechasers. It was therefore tf) be expected that Nigger Minstrel should succeed in this direction, and his latest winner is Stroller, who captured tlio Taranaki Hunt Club Cup. The dam of Stroller is Spring Tide, by Autumnus from Ebb Tide, by Wostmero from Surf by Natator. Surf was closely related to Captain Webb, a good jumper who sired the Grand National Steeples' winner, Captain Jingle.

Tho very prominent Epsom candidate Pamelas, which recently arrived from Queensland, has, been withdrawn from all spring engagements duo to soreness.—P.A.

Produced at the post in the condition that ho was in in tho Dominion last season, when lined up to content in tho big raco at Caulfield on Oetobex 17, Onewhctu must bo given favorable possibilities. It is a rich -state to win, as it is endowed to the extent of £6500, in addition to which a gold cup valued at '£lso is collected by the owner of tho winner, whose share of the stake amounts to £SOOO, second and third prize money reaching £IOOO and £SOO respectively.

Jr. is amusing that some of trie greatest authorities on track work cr • among those who have never timed a gallop in their lives- nor seen one apart from a. race (writes “Pilot” in the Sydney “Referee”). That, however. does not debar them from arguing the. merit, or otherwise, of some gallop done by a prominent horse. The fact that they did not -see it, aril really would not know much concerning its value if they did, does not worry them. A man may he a elriso follower of newspaper reports, hut thftro are other factors that count besides fast time, and some of these a*Yi not understood by the uninitiated, no matter how glibly or loudly they make talk on tho snbjtect. Practical knowledge is necessary to sum up approximately the value of a gallop. Even that does not make all trainers good judges—some are ‘.on greatly biassed in favor of their own hoi ses.
