HALL MARK’S SUCCESS. EQUALLED PHAR LAP’S RECORD. SYDNEY, Nov. 6. ‘ ‘From third to last to a runaway victory would seem an almost impossible achievement, but Hall .Mark definitely proved his claims to be the outstanding three-yeaf-old of the day by such a 'marvellous performance in the Victoria Derby,” _ says the “Sydney Morning Herald” in comment. “Hall Mark was going just ns strongly passing the judge as when lie began bis phenomenal run. His time, too, startled the crowd, equalling Phar Lap’s record, which was certainly not expected, considering the force of the wind. Hall Mafic, covered himself with glory. “Blixten was a sad disappointment. He was also a loner way bade in the early part of the race and did not get by any means as clear a run as Hall fark, but over the last two furlongs he was unable to respond to' any material - and was actually outstayed by Miramond. P'halphar did much better than was expected, although he had no chance with the winner in the straight. Trivento did not look likewinning at any stage. Tn fact, the field was simply outclassed by Hall Mark.” "ENGLISH JOCKEY’S SUCCESS WINS BY GORDON RICHARDS ARICHER’S RECORD EQUALLED LONDON, Nov. 4. The Jockey Gordon Richards has equalled Fred Archer’s 50-year-old record of 246 winners in a season. The season will end on November 25. Gordon Richards, who has had a remarkable succession of wins on the English turf this season, had for some time been expected to exceed Archer’s record by a comfortable margin before flat racing ends. Richards has little of the classic style and polished horsemanship of Archer, but ho produces the results. Steve Donoghue said in genuine admiration of Richards, “We have seen nothing like him in tlie last 30 years.” J. H. Freeman, the sports editor of the “Daily Mail,” describes him as having short legs that mean shortened stirrup leathers, short arms that mean a lengthened rein, attached to a body that has muscle and sinew in superabundance, and governed by a mind that is grim and determined and inflexible. Richards has the marvellous knack, Freeman says, of always having his mount perfectly balanced to shoot out of the starting gate; there has never been a stronger finisher. The horses lie rides are instinctively subordinate to bis will. “And here he has, through no genealogical tree, inherited Fred Archer’s chief characteristics—an uncanny means (as Richard Marsh, the King’s late trainer, put it) of imparting extra vitality to his horses.” Richards this season set out to break three records: His. own previous best of 190, recorded last year; the record attributed to Tommy Loates of 220 in 1893; the absolute record of 246 to the credit of Fred Archer in 1885.

HAWEEA TRACK WORK. ' (By “Limited.”) Conditions were again good this morning for training operations on the Hawera tracks. The fast work was performed, on the plough, which was in good fast order. Don Erma., Ingenuity and Calamine were given steady pace work. Sandlark (Feasey) and Flying East (Duncan) finished together over half a mile traversed in 51 l-ssec. Sandlark is making steady improvement and should be in nice order for the holiday racing. Gibraltar (Duncan) and Chief Line (Shields), starting from the mile post, were into their stride passing the seven furlong post and completed the journey from there in 1.32). Both horses shaped well, keeping together throughout and finishing with little between them. Gibraltar and Chief Line are to race at the Waikato meeting on November 18 and 2Q.

Paparua (M. Pine) was apportioned a good strong round at 15sec to the furlong. ... Round Table (Coyle) infused plenty of dash into a.i sprint over three furlongs accomplished in 38 l-sseo. Since being taken over by R. Brough Round Table has made steady progress and, although nothing striking to look at, promises to be useful. On his dam’s side he is beautifully bred, being from Table Talk by Finland from War Scare, who was the dam of such good performers as Estland, Bjorneborg, Finmarlc, Highland, etc. War Scare was by Martian from Gossip by Wallace. 'The oedigree suggests great staying possibilities.

March Alone (Shield) and Weatherznne (Feasey) went a working gallop over a. round, the last half mile occupying 56see. The Tiger (Edgecombe) worked fast on the inside plough. Th.e Tiger wjjl

not be required until the Christmas racing and has not galloped against the watch since being brought in this time. St. Clara did easy pace work. Arouse, No Doubt Oriel and Haunui did useful exercise work.

R. Brough has the Rosie Desmond filly doing regular work. She is a well grown three-year-old and promises to levolop into a nice mare.
