FLEMINGTON RACES

DOMINION SUCCESSES TWO MORE WINS FOR VOITRE VALIANT CHIEF VICTORIOUS GAY CIRCLE'S GOOD WIN (Received November 7, 9.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE. Nov. 7 New Zealand horses, owners and riders were well in the limelight at the third day of the Victoria Racing Club's Spring Meeting at Flemington to-day, when the weather was fine and there was a good attendanco. The .three-year-old Gay Circlo, ridden by W. Jenkins, won tlie Carnival Handicap for Mr. G. J. Barton, of Dunedin. He is trained by the Wingatui trainer S. G. Ware. K. Voitro added two more important successes to bis record by winning the Oaks on Nalda and the Linlithgow Stakes on Valiant Chief, to whom the Auckland-owned Silver Jubilee finished second. The oxNew Zealand jockey M. McCarten won on Satmoth and 'Beech wood, wbile Link Divine, Martinborough and East Cape, all from the Dominion, recorded minor placings. Barracker scored a comfortable. victory in the Flying Handicap from the New Zealand-bred Araunah, who is owned and trained by M. T. McGrath. Gay Sbeila was never dangerous. Beechwood just held off a late challenge from Sir Gcraint in the Byron Moore Stakes. The latter went a great race under bis penalty. Martinborough was a good third and Prince Quex, a colt by Lord Quex from Princess Pat, owned by Mr. W. It. Kembail, made a promising showing. Bold Blood, the brother to Sporting Blood, was never prominent. Clever Waiting Tactics K. Voitre's clever waiting tactics were a contributing factor in Valiant Chief's victory in the Linlithgow Stakes. Hitherto, Valiant Chief has been regarded as a poor "sticker," but lie won running away. Silver Jubilee had every chance. Synagogue led early, but finished last. Gay Circle registered a comfortable win in the Carnival Handicap, in which the three placed horses all hailed from New Zealand. Gay Sheik and Yilderim were prominent early, but failed to run on. Gay Circle has recorded three wins in his last five starts. L. Robertson's Triumph Nalda, who was pocketed at the home turn, finished brilliantly to win the Oaks from Biinilla, who was last in the early stages. Salamander narrowly defeated Valsard for third. Nalda is a stablemate of Feldspar and Marabou, being trained by L. Robertson. It was the first occasion on which the ono trainer has won the Derby, Cup and Oaks in the samo year. Satmoth took charge in the straight in the Veteran Stakes and won nicely. Korero and Limbohm performed poorly. The course was fast and several of the events wore run in race t record time.
