DEFAULTER’S REAL CLASS.
SHOWN IN A.4.C. PLATE. “ONE OF BEST THREE- YEAR-OLDS.” Received April 17. 11.30 a.m. SYDNEY. April 17. The Sydney Morning Herald says: Defaulter showed his real class when he won the A.J.C. Plate on Saturday. Many thought Spear Chief and Mosaic delayed their runs against Defaulter for too long, hut they overlooked the magnificent judgment displayed by Ellis. The time was the second slowest ever taken for the race. Defaulter will return to New Zealand recognised as one of the best threc-vear-olds ever bred there. J. H. Abbs headed the list of winning trainers for the meeting with £7070, for which Mosaic was mostly responsible. Mr 11. D. Greenwood won £2075. L. J. ELLIS’S DECISION. The Daily Telegraph says that the jockey, L. J. Ellis, has decided to settle in Australia.
