RANDWICK CARNIVAL

NEW ZEALANDERS' WINNINGS TOTAL OF £3386 IN STAKES LIMARCH HEADS THE LIST [from our own correspondent] SYDNEY, Oct. 13 New Zealand owners won £3380 in stakes during the four days of tho Randwick carnival. Mr. H. J. Stanbridgo, of Wellington, with £5Ol, duo to Movio Star's euccees in tho Final Handicap, was the largest handicap winner, rather a drop from tho top-scores made by New Zealanders in former years. It was left to tlie two-year-old Limarch to do best for tho Dominion, his success ill the Breeders' Plate enriching his owners, ,Messrs. E. R. Davis and O. Nicholson, of .Auckland, to the extent of £llsß. Mr. R. J. Murphy's first win at Randwick after eome tantalising luck wns achieved with Oratorian,. and was worth £445. C. Emerson and his patron both had their first winner at Randwick as . trainer and owner. Historic's first in the Waverley Handicap and third in the Sydney Handicap woro worth £376 to Mr. V. Riddiford, this, too, being a first success for this owner at headquarters in Sydney. With Havering, Sir. J. M. Corcoran, of Hawera, won £3GI in the Sydney Handicap. Although tho Smith brothers did not win a race, minor place-money earned by Peter Jackson and Caine Carrington amounted to £305. Nightmarch and True Shaft in minor place-money were credited with £IBO. Clibborn Stakes Protest While New Zealand horses fared fairly well on the last day. gaining some crumbs of comfort, Gaino Carringtoa'e loss of tho Clibborn Stakes on protest was a disaster. The colt was regarded as a gilt-edged investment and his relegation to second place was as severe a blow to some largo bettors as it was to his owners. The first inclination of tho Messrs. Smith was to pack up for home, but Sunday night eaw the colt, Peter Jackson and Splutter on tho train for Melbourne, where it is hoped that tho lefthanded way round will prevent any further trouble After the Craven' Plate, when Gaine Carrington carried off Denis Boy, tho upshot of Saturday's race appeared certain. Gaine Carrington commenced to leave tho rails soon after entering the straight, and he carried Tingalba with him all tho way. At the inquiry, N. 11. McLachlan, who rodo Tingalba, admitted that the horses did not touch, but 110 considered that his mount was hampered. Over tho last 50 yards Gaino Carrington went straight, and 110 won going away by three-quarters of a length. The piquancy of the situation was that Tingalba "himself had been in trouble more than onco for running out. In his first race, tho Breeders' Plate, lie disorganised half the field at the turn, and afterwards misbehaved in other races. Even later in his career as a two-year-old ho caused W. Booth to go before tho stewards to explain his boringout tendencies. Apparently the bookmakers remembered this when they were belting 011 the protest, for tliev were inclined to tako a chance with Tingalba. There is 110 doubt that Gaino Carrington would have won if ho hud goiite straight, but there was obvious interference, and all things considered under a strict interpretation of the rules, the decision of tlie stewards was a correct one. Jockeys Toss for Mount T. Green and T. Webster tossed for tho mount 011 Historic, in tho Waverley Handicap, and Webster won. Green's luck was out, for later in the day he was 011 tho unlucky Gaino Carrington. Webster rode Historic well, for when tho field bunched up round the turn. Historic was rather awkwardly placed.' Mnnawhenua was apparently tho winner 50 yards from the post, but Webster drove Historic aiong to win by a narrow margin. Movie Star's wit;. in tlie Final Handicap was deserved, for he had been most unlucky 011 the third day. Tho surprising feature was his strong run lit the end of a milo and aquarter, a distance considered beyond him. Ho was particularly well supported, and gave A. IX Webster a profitable meeting. Movie Star was always handy to tho leaders and after Trenetto had looked the winner approaching the post, Movio Star headed her, but he had to be kept going to stall off the fast-finishing outsider New King. Cylinder ran a useful race in this event with 9.13 without ever looking actually a ~winner. J. 11. Jefford has decided to leave him in Sydney and ho.will be fired in both forelegs by Mr. V. E. H. Davis, veterinary surgeon. Havering was well in tho raco for nine furlongs, but then weakened and Oratorian showed that ho is not able to run out a mile and a-quarler at present. Horowhenua's Escapade Horowhenua bolted rqund tho course prior to tho Canonbury Stakes. He was declared a non-starter, but the totalisator sti'ff was not notified and assessed tlie dividends as if he whs 11 starter. Fortunately, only £123 10s was invested on him. and some of his backera had torn up their tickets, bo there was no great loss. Top Bank was knocked back to last in tho Canonbury Stakes when Irish Molly fell 111 front of him. Tho Chief Ruler two-year-old should bo suited by the straight, course at Iticcarton when C. Emerson gets him home. Agrion's brother Waikare ran a fair race in tho Canonbury Stakes. Ho is being given time, and probably will bo ail autumn two-year-old. Gay Ballerina showed her first flash of form in the Chester Handicap, when she finished third to Gloriole and N.E.F., both smart sprinters. Hunt the Slipper and Lotus Lily ran moderate races in tliis event. l J eter Jackson's third 111 the Randwick Plate was a good effort under the circumstances. He should earn a. good sharo of the, stake-money in Melbourne, for ho is just, coming to his best. Silver Hit if? had tho rim of tho raco in tho Clibborn Stakes. When Gaine Carrington left tlio rails Silver Ring was, left with the course to himself, yet he was unable to beat Gaino Carrington, Tingalba and Milnnthcou, all of whom covered 11 good deal more ground in tlie run to the post. Th»-Government analyst found 110 sign of poison in the swab taken from Autopay after the Craven Plate. Tho Paper Money horse was no worse next day for his suspected doping before, tlio ('raven Plate. That, all was not right, with Amnion It a has been suspected here for some time. It is unfortunate that lie has developed into a bleeder, but a spell at homo may put him right. At the same time, many think that the best lias been seen of him. Only time will tell. MELBOURNE RACING NEWS ROGILLA'S CUP REHANDICAP MELBOURNE.
