AGRION OUT

It Is Now Left To Merry Mint (By Cable.— From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Sydney Rep.) Dick Mason is not to have a representative m the A.J.C. Derby at Randwick on October 1. TAME after galloping, the hope of Maoriland has been withdrawn from the blue-riband classic. The scratching of the Limond colt has made the Derby th& most open race for years. ■ Ned Mo v ss likes Sion immensely, but some of the soundest judges declare that the race is a good thing for Merry Mint, which won the Hobartville Stakes on Saturday by more than three lengths. His trainer, Jack Cameron, has advised his friends to get m and back him; Pitoota and Ragazzo are two wellrecommended Victorian • candidates. The scratching of the Valais mare, Valicare, means Hhat she is finished racing and that she will go to stud. The famous sprinter can now no longer see out a mile. Fuji San was well backed for the Epsom on Tuesday oh the advice of Jimmy Pike, who says that horse will beat Gothic any time over a mile.
