AUSTRALIAN TURF

CLASS OF LYNCH LAW EASY MOOREFIELD VICTORY FORM AT SUBURBAN RACES [FROM OUR OWN CORUKSI'ONT>KNT] SYDNEY, Doc. 3 Lynch 'Law brought J. T. Jnrnicßon back to the limelight again at Moorefield. Judging bv the manner of Lynch Law's victory, he will continue to receive attention. In hrn Jirst start in a fair field he jumped out in front and won in a walk. Sedition, one of his opponents, was believed to bo fairly smart, but ho was being ridden hard two furlongs from home, with Lynch Law going easily ahead of him. Alter the race the trainer of Sedition asked the rider why he had not gone out with Lynch Law and forcscd the pace. The reply was to the point: " Sedition never could and never will be able to go with bitn."

The bookmakers did not offer any fancy prices, but the short epiotes were all taken, the New Zealand colt starting at " no offer." He is a solidly-built chestnut and absolutely top class. Winner ol Three Races Handsome, who beat the fillies at Moorefield, is tho only two-vear-old to date in this State to win threo races. She is a sturdy and wiry chestnut by Mid Kent. So far the fillies have done well, for G. Price has a good galloper also in Pierrette. Whether they come up to the average of tho colts will be shown when thoy meet them in the Kirkham Stakes.

Captain H. li. Timperley, who for tho past two years has been tho racecourse supervisor for the Australian Jockey Club, sprang a surprise on tho racing public by tendering his resignation this week. If his resignation is accepted, it will be regretted by tho majority of the racing public.

Fernacre, one of tho biggest horses in training, beat tho other welter sprinters at Moorefield. This course is a peculiar one for such a big fellow, yet he has won all his races there over six furlongs, and it is a strange anomaly, for usually the nippy typo prevail at Moorefield. Dutiful and Yerrapie Tail Hope, a live-year-old Heroic gelding, won the Moorefield Handicap stylishly. Ho is at his beet under a light weight and was far too good for the Queenslander, Buzzalong, who, however, was not handled to the best advantage. Journal and Satmoth were beaten for pace, and Journal, in particular, appears to havo lost his form. He gallops well enough, but is racing badly. Dutiful and Yerrapie were two beaten candidates at Moorefield who were saddled up by Jamieson. Dutiful in a poor field came homo well in fourth place and in a way which suggested lie will soon receive some attention. He is a silvery chestnut three-year-old by Captain Bunsby. Yerrapie was mildly supported, in the Welter mile race. He should be much better for the run.

Sweet Peach, a two-year-old winner at Kensington yesterday, is likely to rise superior to suburban standard. She is a solid and smart Heroic —Green Peach filly, trained bj' F. McGrath. Because she was ridden by a littleknown Queensland apprentice, A. Fanning, she was at a good price early, but was supported for big money and won as she liked. This was not McGrath's only winner, for Bronze Unfile later in the day won a mile Three and Four-year-old Handicap very impressively. As Bronze Ruffle had finished third to Gay Blonde in the Squatters' Handicap in the spring at Randwick, there appeared to be every justification for the generous support in the betting ring and the easy win.

TROTTING BREVITIES NEWS FROM ALL SOURCES Bill Grattan may do his future racing in the Auckland Province. The latest addition to V. Alborn's stable is Highrate, a trotter who won at Cheviot early in the season. Gaillard has been given road work as the basis of his present preparation and he has only to keep sound to hold his own in his present class, states a southern exchange.

Eyre, a. half-sister, by Great Parrish, to the good trotters Great Admiral and Golden Eagle, was given her first race on Saturday and she paced smoothly. Eyre is one of J. T. Paul's team. Southern Chief, who suffered a bruised heel prior to the running of the New Zealand Trotting Derby -Stakes, is now being got ready to compete in tho Champion Stakes at Ashburton on Boxing Day, Having his first race in tho Innovation Handicap at Hamilton, the three-year-old True Trust, by Truman Direct—Trustworthy, miulo a creditable showing. Ho behaved splendidly and is engaged in the Great Northern Trotting Derby. Native Chief made his last public appearance at the Forbury Park meeting. Another Addington horso who has finished with racing as far as his present trainer, J. .1. Kennerley, is concerned, is Racketeer, who has been a disappointing racehorso. Qucrida, by Nelson Bingen—Betty Moko, who had previously had only one race, was responsible for two promising efforts at Hamilton. She showed a good turn of speed and went well enough to indicate that she will soon be seen to advantage. Jackie Thorpe, who two seasons ago was tho principal stake-earner in the Waikato and won good handicaps at all distances, reappeared on Saturday alter a lengthy spell following a breakdown. The rest and treatment proved successful.

Competing in a good field of improving pacers, who set a merry rate, the Howe Memorial Handicap candidate Captain Bolt trotted a very sound raco at Claudelands on Saturday. He was always handy and the effort was a nood test for his Auckland engagements. Captain Bolt has improved with the racing ho had at the spring meeting. The aged trotting marc Babv Triumph is building tip a record for plneee, and in her last five starts she lms only once been out of a dividend. She is fairly solid, but lacks brilliancy, although she is likely to win during tho season. Before being raced Baby Triumph produced a foal to Hey do Oro, and the youngster, now ft two-year-old, will race as El Key.
