MELBOURNE RACING

CUP CAPNIVAL OPENS }Sis HALL MARK WINS DERBY;! ROGILLA SCORES AGAIN \ ANOTHER FOR GOLDEN HAIR (Received November 5. 5.6 .p.m.), V MELBOURNE, Nor/6. Tho Melbourne Cup carnival opened at Flemington yeeterday in fine weather and before a very largo attendance. The New Zealand filly GoKfen Hair scored her second Australian euccess in the' Wakeful Stakes. Taking charge at tho distance she defeated the unlucky Variance,-, with the New Zealand-bred Helensbrook third. Golden Hair is engaged in the Oj.ks !next Thursday. Last year Protea won the Wakeful Stakes-Oaks double. vj Pasha, trained by tho ex-New Zeal&nder >< J. T. Jamieson, was prominent ajl the way. <s in the Maribyrnong Plate and won birilliantly, this being his third win. His sire,,., Rampion. won the Maribyrnong Plate in 1925. With a brilliant win in the Melbourne Stakes Rogilla greatly enhanced his Mel- -■■ bourne Cup prospects. Gaine Carringlou made a gamo effort for second and Kuvisra was third. Oro, tho only other runner, wa> J( unsuited by the slow pace early. Hall Mark, after being sixth early in,'', the Victoria Derby, took the lead two furlongs from home and won running awuy. The pacemaker Palphar, who early gair.cd » a big lead, battled on gamely for second, and Miramond just beat Blixten for third. Hall Mark, having now won the two Derbies, will attempt Trivalve'a feat of wirf:"' ning also the Melbourne Cup. It was th«*' first Victoria Derby success of D. Munro. whose brother Jamea won on Liberal lust year. The much-discussed Trivento dis-f' appointed.

Munro said he thought Hall Mark would win after they reached the half-mile post. The colt did not really gallop until the straight, and came home full of running. A. Breasley said Palphar had had enough before reaching the post. M. McCarten. stated that Blixten had a good run, w.ith no interference, and •was not good enouch.

Care Free finished with a remarkable run to win the Cantata Stakes.. She is little more than a pony and is a daughter of the flying Valicare. Her rider, J. M. O'Su'llC-' van, will pilot Hall Mark in the Melbourne"' Cup. • ■ -

Pretzel enhanced his Melbourne Cupprospects with a good finishing effort to win the Hotham Handicap. The New Zisalander Greenhorn showed his best Aus-' 1 tralian form to in ruhning second.'' Flail improved on his recent form jibf third. Petan failed badly. ...... Results:— WAKEFUL STAKES, Of £500; three-year-old fillies;/weight 8,4*. with penalties and allowances: 1 niile GOLDEN HAIR.
