AUSTRALIAN RACING

THE ROSEHILL MEETING SILVER RING’S HILL STAKES SHAKESPEARE WINS GUINEAS (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY, 20th September. The Rosehill races on Saturday, as a full-dress rehearsal for the Randwick spring meeting, attracted the keenest interest features being the defeat of Talking (who has been regarded in some quarters as Gold Rod’s most formidable rival), by Shakespeare, whom Gold Rod comfortably defeated at Warwick Farm; and Silver Ring’s fine victory in the Hill Stakes.

Shakespeare displayed more doggedness than Talking, who led into the straight, while Silver Ring, after racing attractively throughout, wrested victory from the pacemaker, Lough Neagh, who battled on courageously. Sarcherie was near the lead throughout. Results:
