Nicholson, of Auck- ! land, and has done all his racing in j Australia, where be has been a good t performer. As a two-year-old he won the Breeders' Plate, and as a three-year-old he dead-heated for first with Hall Mark in the V.R.C. St. Leger, and scored outright in the A.J.C. St. Leger. Limarch was expected to do well in important events this season but an injury he received when interfered with while running in the Spring Stakes at Rand wick last year necessitated a long spell. There is no doubt that Limarch is good when in form and it will he unfortunate if his preparation is again interrupted. SYDNEY JQCKEY SUSPENDED MONTH TERM FOR R.
