Typhoon Well Backed
SYDNEY, This Dav. If the New Zealand horse Typhoon trains on satisfactorily, he will be ridden in the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups by the leading Sydney jockey W. Cook. Cook said he had been approached to take Ihe mount but everything depended on how the horse shaped in Australia. It was only by an oversight .that Typhoon was not nominated for the big Australian Jockey Club double, the Epsom Handicap and the Metropolitan. Typhoon has already had substantial backing to win the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup double. This backing originated in the dream of a Melbourne sporting man, who has built up a reputation through the number of winners he has tipped. He claims that he dreams them, and it was not. until he had tipped the winning spring double two vears in succession that people took him Seriously. Now . he has dreamed that. Typhoon won the two cups double and a rush to back the horse has followed.
