Father's Voice, and last spring he was taken to Randwick to win th 6 Breeder's Plate. He failed? _but ran a good race after being left at the start. '• v .(He was a rynn?"* on Tuesday, knti' on jt.he strength of his track Mjyork, he was made a good favorI;, ite, Ajhot'one, m fact. . V ; '■■,: Having^.drawn. number one 'at the barrier, ;ij;-,'was :. tljdught : ,this 'would be f m jh|is favor; but sprn/ehiqw or Q.ther, he j did' ffpt' begin as well as was expected ( and coming down on: to' the course proper he was well back on the fence. In the run down the straight he was \ forced to pull out, and without being unduly knocked about, he was flnishr ing fast m fourth place. High Pitch is to be sold by auction to-morrow, that is, if the ' ■„■ price, is forthcpming. / He will have to brlpg a good; figure; but he is worth' it, Tuesday's failure, notwithstanding. '
