RACING IN SYDNEY.

.'At the Warwick Farm meeting on Saturaay IT.M.S., after * run of ill-luck, managed -to Score, taking the principal event, the Warwick Cutdicap, .one mile two furlongs and a-half. jibe jhestnut son of Correze, who now runs in the colours of Mr. E. E. A. Oatley, has pfaic« he -was Awarded' the Flying 'Handicap mt -City Tattersall's meeting at Randwick in September of last year (the winner, Eulowi», being disqualified for informal entry) run ; irer • dozen seconds. The field that T.M.S. ►eat on Saturday was a poor one, and he went Jut an odds-on favourite. He earned 7.1, and mly had -three opponents. Bonnie Boy 9.2, ty the New Zealand-bred Niagara, started ftvourite, and easily won the Hurdle Race. Jonnie Boy is new <at the jumping business, Jbut shaped like an old stager. Capriform 7.4, Jby St. Albans 11, was successful in the ■Stewards' Mile, in which Undaunted, fhe Ifavourite, lost his rider, and War Cloud slipped 'one of his fetlocks. The Farm Stakes, six furlongs,, went to Bones 8.3, by the Newmarket fljandicap winner, Cranbrook; while the improving Clangour 8.12, by Clan Stuart, scored '•o easy win from; jStreet Arab 8.4 in the Welter Olile. »•;,;'. PORT ADELAIDE RACES. f ,_The" feature of the Port Adelaide races on Cjaturday was the success of Corral, by CorraUzig»,~. who took » double — Hurdle Race and Flat Race. He' was well backed in lj«« * totalisator each time. Dividends were -paid -on first and Second' horses, where the fields exceeded « dozen. In one case the ■fcecond dividend in, a race was better than the test. Herd Laddie 7.10, by'Zalinski, accounted for the Trial Stakes; «nd another bred in VieItoria, in Northumberland 6.13, by Tostig, was kuccessful in the Association Handicap, five .Vurlongg. Northumberland paid about 13 to 1. ffhe Trainers' Handicap, one mile, proved a good thing for-Moschi 8.0, by Mostyn, who was • hot favourite. Cromwell 12.0, by Sir Oliver, ,iras successful in the Steeplechase. I - ~ ODDS AND ENDS. I. Backers have had a few hard knocks this bpring. They got another one last Wednesday, •jirhen at 3.20 p.m. Wakeful was taken out of Jkh« Melbourne Cup. After her fine form at .Aha A.J.C. .meeting she was favourite for the ;OEHemington event, as short a price as 7 to 1 '•ifcing ween about her; but I doubt whether ia£r Macdonald. ever had. any serious intention, fjpf starting her under 10.5. Her defeat in the (October Stakes temporarily knocked Wakeful tout' of' the Melbourne Cup betting ; but no Boubt she would have" come into favour again tad not ~Mr 'Macdonald withdrawn, hei as Boon . '«% he did. ' If for no other reason, it is rekretteble that .Wakeful has gone out of the Slelbourne Cup, because she will not now be • afforded the opportunity of endeavouring to 'Jjeat Owbine'a record .in the race. Mr Mac[ffonald also took Kinglike, Bullion, and Irwell [put of the Melbourne Cup. Kinglike, who was "' [V popular pick at the time of the declaration hpf the weights, has done no strong work to fjjmeak'pf for 'eom© time, and neither Irwell nor 35ullion~-n«ve ehown anything- approaching Cup tfform: The stable which took the Cup lest year '^ plith Revenue is' not, therefore, represented in race J this year. ■" V'Dcnenture, who has always been a hard horse . jlo.iimin,'haß been- turned out; and so has the Melbourne Cup .winner, Revenue, who has not feret recovered from the effects of his knocking pfcout in the last Australian Cup. ' r/Tne" racing mare Honeybee (by Zalinski — (Busy Bee), owned by Mr A. S. Chirnside, died Vast week from an attack of pneumonia. '(< In the Steeplechase at Sandown Park last ■Wednesday Landmark fell and broke his leg, tend was subsequently shot. He hailed from 4foe Riverina, being by Sunrise from Blue and [White, and was the property of Mr R. Hoysted. JHis rider, G. Brooks, got a bad shaking. !> Victor will not go to New Zealand until kfter the V.R.C. meeting, at which he is engaged. The price paid for him was £150. [ Mr George Adams, the sweep promoter, has - mrcttised the Tasmania^ Turf Club £100, to Jbe added to the Launceston Cup, or given as k 'stake for another race, at the summer meeting of the club. ( J. Scobie won the October Handicap, one tnile and 75- yards,, at the Ballarat Miners'kneeting last Friday with Silk Lace 8.2 (by (Wallace). Butternut, the favourite, did not |jet a. place. 1 The well-bred two-year-old Aurate (Bill of jPortl*nd— Auraxia) has arrived at Flemington tfrom Adelaide. Larissa and Chesterfield, who failed badly in Melbourne, have been sent back to Tas'inania. 1 The Tasmanian horse Royalty wrenched his fetlock while running in the Moonee Valley >TJup, and has been very lame since.
