AUSTRALIAN RACING

NEW ZEALANDERS’ FORM. “MAECENAS” WRITES FROM SYDNEY. (Special To Ttio Star.; SYDNEY. Aug. 7. Oratrix lias done great track work, and is .expected to run well in the King’s Cup tit ißrisbono next .week. She will be ridden by M. JVfoiCarteii. »** ' « * M. -McCarten showed great, judgment on Killarney to beat J. Pike on Aussie at the Warwick Farm meeting. Me-('art-on was also responsible for good horsomanship to win on Nolen Volems at Canterbury Bark. *****

When Gav Ballerina arrived in Australia from Now Zealand she was very light in condition, but she is now looking verv robust. *'* * » *

Ridden by R. Reed, Gay Ballerina wa.s a runner against Aussie at Warwick Farm on August 3. Blic was on the extreme outside of twenty-one runners, but that, did not prevent her showing speed enough to lend for half the distance. *****

Killarney, who- beat Aussie at. Warwick Farm is trained by tin' ox-Now Zealander, G. Brice, and as Killarney was a fit gelding as the result of recent racing, lie was well supported at liberal odds bv the stable connections. **’ * * *

Trainer G. Price has Killarney engaged in the Epsom Handicap, but as Ramulus is also engaged in that important handicap, he and not Killarney will be the “elect” of that stable. Ramulus is a brilliant galloper, but as he is nor a big one, 9.2 may trouble h ini. # * * * *

Trainer J. Fryer, with Bright Glow and the Tonbridge youngster, arrived in Sydney on August 6 after a very good trip, on which the horses did well.

The New Zealand-owned gelding, Kilbronsyth, broke down so- badly last week that it was decided on to destroy him. In his early racing days, Kiibronsyth showed much promise, but leg infirmity spoilt what looked like being a good racing career. * * * * *

When sent out to race in Australia for the first time (at Warwick Farm on August 3), Aussie looked very bright, though was obviously on the “big side.” Despite this, he was very solidly -backed. *****

Had Aussie had the great advantage of a recent race, ho would possibly have won at Warwick Farm, in place of suffering a narrow defeat. Aussie was drawn very wide out at. the barrier (No. 16) and as lie had 9.13 in the saddle, and -had to go fast in the early stages to secure a good position, he was left without a final run.
