AUSTRALIAN TURF

OMAREBE IMPRESSIVE

HOLLOW WIN AT RANDWICK

A.J.C. HURDLES TO SLY LAD

(Roceived Juno 28, 0.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, Juno 28

The Australian Jockey Club's Winter Meeting opened on Saturday in fine weather, with an attendance of 23,000. The reintroduction of racing for amateur riders at Randwick was a success. Half-a-dozen horses were abreast in the Amateur Cup race 50 yards from the post. Mr. R. J. Murphy's colt Omarore won the First Nursery Handicap in convincing fashion. He quickly went to the front and, nicely handled by M. McCarton, he won very easily. Omarere shows signs of developing into a highclass galloper, who may carry Cuddle's colours with distinction.

A promising jumper, The Black Cat, winner of the Brush Hurdles at Canterbury Park on June 20, ended his racing career in the Trial Hurdles when he tripped at a jump and broke his neck. The rider was not injured. The A.J.C. Derby winner of 1934, Theo, was given a race as a test in the June Stakes, but he pulled up very lame. It is possible the racing career of this Kood horse also has ended. Results:

NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE

GOSSIP FROM TRACK AND STABLE

A trotting club has been formed at Otaki.

The hurdle and steeplechase jockey, R Beale, married last week in Duncdin He will reside in Christchurch.

Autumn Wind, by Paper Money from Wild Work, who raced earlier in the season in Melbourne, gave her first glimpse of form in running second to Sir Rosenor at Duncdin.

The Ellerslio trainer J. M. Buchanan has augmented liis team by the addition of a, rising two-year-old by Vaals from Judy Kelly. By Kilbroney from Joy Queen, Judy Kelly is a full-sister to Kelly.

Fair Weather ran a solid race behind Bay Dlike, to whom ho conceded half a stone, in the D.J.C. Empire Handicap. He should be equal to another good effort at Trentham, for lie is essentially a winter galloper.

Money Mine has had a long acquaintance with racing at Wingatui, says an exchange. He won the Birthday Handicap as a four-vear-old in 192!), and at the recent meeting he completed the course in two steeples, but that was all.

The jumpers Gascille and Electric Flash are to leave on Wednesday for Trentham, Avhere they are engaged in steeplechase events at the Wellington Racing Club's Winter Meeting. The hurdlers Black Marlin and Lord Val, who claim engagements at the same fixture, are to leave on Friday.

Sir Kosenor, winner .of the Electric Handicap at Dunedin, is a half-brother to Sir Hoy, Don Quixote and Moonben m. Their dam, Hornbeam, is by Martian from Stephanie, by Stepniak. and tho latest winner of the family, who has been given plenty of time, should soon be able to run a middle distance with success.

The Queensland Turf Club has instituted a system of lights in place of the old (lag signals. A green spiral backing tho blocked letters "weight" is used to indicate weight; a red light for "protest entered"; purple for "protest dismissed"; and amber for "protest upheld." The system lias been used with success in Japan.
