SYDNEY TURF NEWS

DOMINION-BRED HORSES * THREE ROSEBERY SUCCESSES GOLDEN CHANCE'S GOOD FORM [I'KOM OtTE OWN CORRESPONDENT] SYDNEY, Auc. 15 New Zealand-bred horses had something of a day out at the Rosebery midweek meeting winning three of the nine races. Golden Chance, who scored in tho Flying Handicap, is the only one owned in the Dominion, for Forestry and Limoux, the other winners, are both owned and trained locally. Golden Chance showed further improvement., for he beat a fair secondclass field of open sprinters. He was ridden by A. R Knox, who is in great form. Golden Chance earned 7.9, \\hh among the leaders all the way, and. thanks to Knox's superior vigour, just won. H. 1£ Russell, the owner-trainer of Golden Chance, is certainly losing no opportunities with his pair and has a fine average of success. Forestry scored his second success during 10 days by carrying oli tho principal handicap. Not only did he win, but also he made the opposition look very cheap Big joint and all that he sports, the bookmakers took no risks and they were right. He was pulling Bartle out ot the saddle all the way to the half-mile turn, ihcre the leader, Confab, went wide, and forestry went through the opening, going on to win in a canter. So long as J. T. Cush can keep Forestry going, he will win races. In his present form hardly any race would bo beyond him. He beat little of consequence at Rosebery, but no horse could have made an easier job of it. Rogilla Ricks Muscle

Limoux. alter many disappointing performances, won the first mile welter. M. McCarten had him well up throughout and in a great finish he just led a bunch of live horses. In this instance also the field was not stroug, but Limoux put sbme heart into his finish. Rogtlla is the latest to the ranks ol spring casualties. I*or the past week he has not gone faster than a trot. He has ricked a muscle in the quarter, and, although not really serious, it is troublesome. However, the chestnut showed considerable improvement to-day. Gladswood is going to Brisbane for the King's Cup The trip is apparently being mude more with the object ot carrying Mr. J. Spencer Brunton s colours in the event rather than in the hope of winning. Gladswood would have to improve vastly on his Sydney torin to hold any chance even in Brisbane, where the form is below that of this State. The owners of Young Idea, the leading youngster of last year, were dismayed this week to learn that the colt had not been nominated for the Hosehill Guineas. This has meant the postponement of his arrival in Sydney. Ho will race in the Derby at Randwick. but will do his preliminary racing in his own State, Victoria. Tauramai has been worrying A. D. McKay during the last few days. The gelding has a touch of foot trouble, which, however, is not believed to be serious. So far he has done little but pace work at Randwick Silver Rinc Beaten For some obscure reason. Silver Ring was backed as the greatest oi certainties in the open sprint event at Rosehill last Saturday. He had 9.7 and. ridden by J. E. Pike, was slow away and did not show an atom of dash, 'ibis was just what wa© expected oi him by all the Hand wick regulars, who were astounded at the volume of support. The last Epsom Handicap winner has been very scratchy op the track and even on race morning was very stilty when covering three furlongs. Some of the experienced trainers consider he should be in the paddock rather than on the training and racing track. Silver Ring's race was won by the improved four-year-old Bulldozer, who accompanied Journal to Melbourne last spring Journal finished third to his stable mate and come from a long way back. He looked very well and his spring prospects are bright. Another spring candidate in the same event Theo, naturally was beaten for pace over six furlongs, out he did not run a bad race. The Metropolitan favourite Vice-Royal, the last Sydney Cup winner Akuna, and Curator all ran usefully. Latharna Runs Second

The seven furlongs Three-year-old Handicap was rather better class than the average suburban e\ent, the plucefillers all bein4 outsiders, and two oi them New Zealand-bred. It is probable that all three will go on to better things. The winner, Lolorua, a colt by Heroic from Weela, is owned by the leading bookmxkei J. T. Hackett. J T. Jamieson prjvided the runner-up. Latharna (Limond—Pomyris), a colt who is coming on well and finished stoutly-G. Pries saddled up the third horse, Saecula (Posterity—Veil). He also came home rather well. Saecula is owned by Mr. E. Moss, who also race! Veilmond. Mr. Moss was unlucky enough to provide "another minor place-filler, the Limond colt Loud Applause, in a mile maiden handicap. Loud Applause encountered a good Magpie six-year-old, Dainpier. practically at even weights and was only beaten by a head. Epsom Handicap Fancy

A favourite was found at Hosehill for the Epsom Handicap in Barak, a Ronsard four-year-old, owned by the Victoria Racing Club chairman. Mr. L. K. S. Mackinnon, but trained in Sydney by Isaac Foulsham. Barak won the special weight race, tho Wentworthville Stakes, from the hot favourite Duke Caledon. The Duke had won three consecutive races and Saturday's event was believed to be at his mercy, but Barak gave him 31b and just smothered him at the finish Barak had been ticked off as the likely winner oi one of tho big spring races and his effort on Saturday confirmed the idea He is a fine type of horse and a picture of condition With 7.10 he has the ideal we'cht for a race like the Epsom Handicap. Peter Pan has shown a little improvement during the pnßt few days, but he has yet to be kept under suspicion. F. McGrath has given himself two weeks lor a decision. Golden Gate was nearly successful at Rosehill over u mile, a distance believed to be beyond her. She was narrowly beaten by Kngal, but really both of them should hove been beaten by George Young's cast-off Mystic Spell, who was most injudiciously ridden. Golden Gate has been in work a long time, but she looks as. bright as ever.
