TYPHOON’S PROGRAMME
SYDNEY, Aug. 23.
If the New Zealand horse - Typhoon trains on satisfactorily, he will be ridden in the Caullield and Melbourne Cups by the leading Sydney jockey, W. Cook. Cook said he had been approached to lake the mount, but everything depended on how the horso shaped in Australia. 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, tho Epsom and the Metropolitan. Typhoon has already had substantial backing to win the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup double. This backing originated in tho dream of a Melbourne sporting man who has built up a reputation through the number of winners lie has tipped. He claims that he dreams them, and it was not till he had tipped the winning spring double two years in succession that people took him seriously. Now he has dreamed that Typhoon will win the two clips double, and a rush to back tho horse has followed.
