Gaine Carrington registered Ms first Victorian win, leading throughout in the Lloyd Stakes to beat tho fastfinishing Ivuvera. The winner is now trained by Cecil Godby and owned by the bookmaker, J. Phillips. Topical won the Cup with a brilliant finishing run on the. rails and he scored in the last few strides. His trainer, the veteran, W. Kelso, won tho Melbourne Cup with Statesman. Topical's rider, Ivnox, was second with Varramba in the Melbourne Cup. Yarramba was well fancied on Saturday but ran badly. Windbag, the sire of Topical, also got Winooka.
