NOTES FROM SYDNEY (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY, Oct. 1. The final gallops in preparation for Saturday’s races were mostly of an easy nature. At Randwick, where the “A” grass track was used for the first time for 12 months, Gold Rod just cantered from the mile and a-quarter post, while Mala went a comfortable half mile in 51 jsec with Golden Treasure. The Marne, going well within himself, easily beat Athenian over seven furlongs in Imin 32sec. Gay Blonde easily beat Golden Gate over five furlongs in Imin 2Jsec. Cuddle, with Webster up, was ridden all the way, and took Imin 17sec for six furlongs. She did not finish well. Capris and Autobus together covered five furlongs in Imin 3sec. Silver Standard and Heroic Faith ran an easy five furlongs in Imin ssec. Gustos led Bobby over the mile in Imin 45|sec. Gay Sheik led Spirits over an easy seven furlongs in Imin 36sec. Lasting beat Tuckerbox and Cyrillian over the mile in Imin 45sec. Oro did the fastest mile in Imin 42£sec. He carried a good weight, and moved attractively. Happy Landing was well beaten by Verberry over nine furlongs in 2min lisec. Queen of Song galloped five furlongs on the tan in Imin 2sec. At Victoria Park Gay Lover did a very smart gallop over five furlongs in Imin Isec, the last four being run in 48£sec. Prittle Prattle did five furlongs in Imin and could have done better. Silver Ring, carrying a very light boy, reeled off six furlongs in Imin 14£sec. a particularly satisfactory gallop. Sporting Blood also pleased, accompanying Satmoth over seven furlongs in Imin 28£sec, the first three being run in 37£sec. Silver Jubilee and High went together over six furlongs in Imin 15jsec. As Silver Jubilee carried a heavier boy. his work was definitely good.
