A -DREAMER'S lIP N.Z. HORSE TYPHOON FOR VICTORIAN CUP DOUBLE (Rec. 8.5) SYDNEY. Aug. 23 If the New Zealand horse, Typhoon trains on satisfactorily he will be ridden in the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups by a leading Sydney jockey, W. Cook. Cook said he had been approached to take the mount, but everything depended on how the horse shaped in Austalia. Typhoon is expected to arrive in Australia soon. It was only by an oversight that he was not nominated for the big A.J.C. double, the Epsom and the Metropolitan. Typhoon has already had substantial backing to win the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup double. His backing originated in the dream of a Melbourne sporting man, who has built up a reputation through the number of winners he has tipped. He claims that he dreams them. It was not until he had tipped the winning Spring double two years in succession that people took him seriously. Now he has dreamed that Typhoon won the two Cups double, and a rush to back the horse has followed.
