TOPIC FOR ARGUMENT.
DONCASTER RESULT. Received April 18, 1.5 p.m. . SYDNEY, April 18. The weather for to-day's races is fine and sunny. Commenting on the Doncaster Handicap, the Sydney Morning Herald says: Tile finish will provide a topic for argument for some time. Some persons, backed by the opinions of officials, thought that Plamurah would have won convincingly except for interference by King’s Head. Other declare that if King’s Head had run truly Hamurah could not have caught him. Buzalong was one of the unlucky horses of the race and did not get a clear run until he turned into the straight; yet, about 150 yards from the post lie looked like a possible winner.' Troy finished very fast to reach fourth place. Troy was in much trouble early in the race and was not really balanced till he entered the straight when he was seventh.
