THE CAULFIELD CUP

RIVETTE SUCCESSFUL A WIN FOR GOLD SALUTE WINDSOR HANDICAP TO FAMOUS • (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) MELBOURNE, Oct. 22, (Received Oct. 22, at 9 p.m.) Aided by her weight advantage,'Rivette brilliantly won the Caulfield Cup. She carried • 31b' over-weight, but has shown brilliant form since the declaration • of weights; and' the handicapper would probably have awarded 8.7 If he had the option of altering the Imposts. Rivette made a modest beginning, and proved , difficult to train. She has been sparsely | raced. Her dam, Riv, was a champion performer on the pony course, and Rivette is little more than a pony. Her rider, E. 'Preston, was lucky to get the mount, as J. Purtell was engaged, but suffered a broken leg a few weeks back. Malkai' had every chance, but was outstayed by the winner. Respirator was possibly unlucky. A slow beginning beat him. Geebung had a poor run. Elanage was never a possibility, but David Spear surprised by his forward showing. Wilson • went a fair race. The weather was fine, and the attendance of 67,500 was a record. • Gold Salute returned £245 of his; purchase money by outclassing his rivals in -the-first division of the Burwood Handicap. --It was'a good Derby trial, MUscari- weakened, but Riviera finished well. Aranui assisted with the pace, but tired. Manuere was never dangerous. There is a possibility of Gold Salute going to America next season if sufficient inducement is offered and the colt goes along all right The defeat of Border Lass was unlikely in ' the second division of the Burwood Handicap. The fast-finishing Mac Rob was. second, and Snow White was a good third. .Phil Wirth went a poor race. . Mormon finished strongly in the last stride to win the Gwyn Nursery from Hallmark's son, Goldsmith. Exactly Was a moderate third, and Broadcaster disappointed The Adelaide representative, Lome, had an easy, win in the steeples,' and should score again during his visit. Pasal . was .poorly placed early, but finished • brilliantly- in the first division of the Mona Nursery Handicap. Applause and Ten O’clock battled gamely. Friendly gave a poor display. The winner cost 275gns as a yearling. Partoer finished strongly to score an easy win in the second division of the Mona Nursery Handicap. Tranquil Star has had two seconds and a fourth in three starts. I Making his first appearance for some I months, Pamelus had a surprise win in the Windsor Handicap.
