VICTORIA OAKS

SESSION SUKPRISES TRANQUIL STAR SECOND ANOTHER WIN FOR HIGH CASTE (Received November 7, 8 p.m.) • MELBOURNE, Nov. 7 i The Marconigram filly Session created i a surprise at Flemington to-day in de- ■ feating a supposed certainty in Tran- ' quil Star in the Victoria Onks in record i time for the race. Tranquil Star bo- ; came a hot favourite after running ' second to Lucrative in the Victoria ; Derby last Saturday. Throttle was a moderate third in to-day's event. D. Munro, the rider of Session, won the I race on Triode last year and his horsemani ship was a big factor in Session's victory. . The winner ran out a little in the straight • and some people anticipated there would bo > a protest. J In spite of interference at tho start, All : Lovo outclassed her rivals in the Byron Moore ! Stakes and maintained her unbeaten record in three starts. She' cost 250 guineas and has won over .L'2ooo in stakes. Jn an .-ill-New Zealand result, High Caste ; was not troubled to win the Linlithgow ' Stakes from Gold Salute. After lying fourth • in running, High Caste tackled the leaders in tho straight. The pace was slow early, | but the last half-mile was run in -17s. ! Gold Salute, although running a good > race, was no match for the winner. Amiable , improved oil her recent efforts and Reading l weakened after making the paco and finished last. High Casto dead-heated for first with Manrico in the Linlithgow Stakes last year. Valhalla had little difficulty in winning the November hurdles. Modiste, when assured 1 of second place, fell at the last hurdle. I After being last at the turn. Velocity outstayed (be rest in the Carnival Handicap, in which Fur Trader ran well. Nightlieam : had every chance, lie led to the distance, then weakened. Maeßob, who 1< raced by ,T. Holt, gave, , that trainer his first win in Melbourne this ' season' in a narrow victory in the Veteran Slakes. L'Aiglon was always prominent and • Saint Warden finished fast to beat Oladynev, , who had every chance for third position. A , protest was entered against the winner.

HASTINGS TRAINING : SMART THREE BY PROVEN HUNTING BLOOD GOES FREELY [nv telegraph—OWN correspondent] HASTINGS, Thursday For fhe final gallops for the Napier Park races on Saturday, the tracks to-day were slow, after rain. All the galloping at Hastings was done on the outside of tho course proper. Yogi, who had • been nursing an injured foot for three days, hit out freely over three furlongs, run in 30 3-ss. It depends on his work to-morrow whether lie will start on Saturday. Proven did a Jiitle better than any other juvenilo when recording 30 3-5s for three furlongs. Burra Sahib beat Valcony in lis, time which Crucible and Stolen Coat equalled, j Greek Dancer wa.s well clear, of Gay Rona in lis. Black Sultan and Dusky Bay recorded •10s. travelling easily. Over the half-nii'.o course, Nora GreKor was held in restraint lo register 53 2-oS, Katlibella. similarly, was not given rein to record 51s. KalCka. Waicon.v, Support and Sunny Knight finished at short intervals as named, the leader taking ,53 4-ss. Battlegain conceded Lively Lady three lengths and was slill that distance away, but going easily, in a trial which took 51 l-ss. Dainty Dell defeated Shani in 51s. The best time over five furlongs was 1.0. recorded b.v Hunting Blood, who decisively outsped Solaria, although twice checked in tho run home. A soft track on Saturday will enhance Hunting Blood's prospects in the, Flying Handicap at Grcenmeadows. City Song held Kehurangi in 1.7 2-5. Flying Flag was ridden out. lo record 1.7, but sho shows signs of a return to form. Cherry Hunter, appreciating the easy uoing. ran six furlongs strongly in 1.23. Recent schooling has been most beneficial to his staying powers. There was northing to choose _ between Laughing Sonc and Proclamation, who traversed tho satno ground in 1.22 3-ss. Lindrum and Kiniyre, who were not favoured by Hie golnir, took 1.21, but they were not ridden out. Gold Court, wide out, was goinc better than Astnite, a poor track worker, lo register 1 .'l% the first three furlongs beintr covered in 30 3-ss. After faking ,51s for the first four furlongs, Master Oyklon completed seven ftirlonsrs in 1.37. lwing under rrstralnl all the way. Cherry Plum, Collodion and Morning Flight wero associated in a schooling essay over five hurdles. Cherry Plum did much the best. Morning Flight was inclined to risk the fences and fell ait the last one. DEFEAT OF BEAU VITE SHOE BUICKLED IN CUP MELBOURNE, Nov. 7 Trainer F. McGrath stated to-day that Bean Vile buckled his off fore shoe during ihe running of tho Melbourne Cup and considers this brought about his defeat. ! The owner, Mn. Ralph Stewart, revealed that he had received information that an : attempt would bo made lo shoot Beau Vite at the starting post and mounted troopers kejit the peoplo away from the start, the first occasion in tho history of the race. Beau Vite is to bo returned to New Zealand and spelledi for throo weeks. 110 will race at Fleming;ton Jn tho Fisher Plato on Saturday, when his opponents will include Beauiivro and Maikai. Ho will then bo prepared for tho Wellington Cup. Beau Vito will not be Uikcii to Mclbourno in the autumn, hut ho 'Viil bo in Sydney at Easter. Mncliob will probably be sent to Perth lo run in the Perth Cup at the Christmas meeting of the "West Australian Turf Club. Maikai also wa» nominated for tho Perth Cup, hut he will not make the trip.
