THE CAULFIELD CUP.

BY PHAETON.

The record to be entered up in connection with the fortieth Caulfield Cup, decided on Saturday last, in that the three placed horses all hailed from the same stable, is indeed, a highly interesting one, and' is rendered additionally so by reason of the horses all running in different interests- R. Bradtioid, who presides over an extensive establishment at Flemington, and who last year trained the Caulfield Cup winner. King Offa, is the man responsible for the training of Lucknow, Night Watch, and Chrome, the trio who tought out the finish for the leading positions in Saturday's great race Though Night Watch was, in more favour than his stable-mates, Lucknow and Chrome were both well in the limelight; and the first-named especially was regarded as a formidable opponent to his more heavilybacked stable-mate. In March last. Lucknow captured the Futurity Stakes of £3000, but as he subsequently ran unplaced in the Newmarket Handicap under the handy impost of Bst 41 b,. some of the gilt was taken off his winning exploit at Caulfield. This season Lucknow opened his six-year-old career by winning the Heatherlie Handicap at Caulfield and the Stand Handicap at lommgton, and as he carried 9st 4!b in the la-st-named race and beat a. field of 26 in the fast time of 2m 7(s, there was undoubted evidence of brilliancy. Lucknow is engaged in the Melbourne Cup. for which he was originally weighted with Sst 4lb. but a 101 b penalty comes to him as a result of his Caulfield Cup victory, and consequently his impost in the Flemington race will be raised to 9st. Lucknow, who was bred by the King, carried the Royal colours at two and three years old. when he was sold to bis present owners. Messrs Robinson and Clark. Lucknow can boast of a high-class pedigree, and the fact of his being a descendant of Minora, who carried King Edward's colours to victory in the Fnglish Derby of 1909, is an interesting fact. Minora, it may be remarked, was exported from England to Russia in 1914. With the tremendous upheaval in that country the sire of Lucknow has probably had a. hard time, if he survived the turmoil.
