GOLD ROD’S DEFEAT
NO EXCUSE POSSIBLE EPSOM CALCULATIONS UPSET (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copy right j
(Received 13th September, 10.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day.
Gold Rod’s complete defeat in the Tramway Handicap so disorganised the Epsom position that even this morning it had not settled down. No excuse is possible for Gold Rod. He was in perfect order. To-day he will probably be disinclined to race with the field. Prittle Prattle, on account of winning second position in the Tramway Handicap, will come right into Epsom calculations. The Chanter, which finished well in the Chelmsford Stakes, is also more in demand. Talking is being kept safe until he runs at Rosehill next Saturday. The Metropolitan horses Mala, Silver Standard, Old Rowley, Sir Regent and Gay Knight all impressed at Randwick. The Metropolitan is regarded as more open than usual. Lynch Law will not run in the Derby, which nevertheless has one of the best fields with the Victorians Ajax, Hua and Avenger Dominating. The New Zealander Court Craft is creating a favourable impression on the tracks. Fryer’s Musketoon gelding Pantoon won the Maiden Handicap at the Moonc-e Valley meeting
