THE CAULFIELD CUP
WINNERS OF DIVISIONS SAINT WARDEN AND SKIPTON (Rec 9 pm.) MELBOURNE, Oct. 24. In winning the first division of the Caulfield Cup at Flemington to-day, the rank outsider Saint Warden caused the greatest surprise in the long history of the race. Saint Warden, who had won only one other race in two years, was a long way back in the early stages, but gradually made up ground and hit the front a furlong from the post. St. Warden was bred in New Zealand. There was strong support for The Joker, but he finished only eleventh. ~ In the second division of the Cup Skipton returned to his brilliant three-year-old form and won pulling up. Dominate finished ninth. Following are the results:— CAULFIELD CUP, Of £6500 One mile and a-half.
