A GOLD CUP WON BY RTJIiANTJT Mr. W. 1?. Kembnll’s team in Victoria does not have a great deal of luck, hut races have been won, and last year Lady I’nru wmn a handsome gold cup at Albany. Another gold cup came the way of Mr. Kern ball on November 17, when Rulanut won the principal handicap at Cranbourno. Nothing was cabled, but the Argus says : “Rulanut lias disappointed in several races this season, and failed to reproduce the promise lie displayed as a two-vear-old. Tie, however, returned to the winning list in the CVanbourne Cup, in which lie scored an easy victory from The Doctor’s Orders and Sonnica. He was in the centre of the field for the j greater part of the journey, hut half a mile from home made a fast forward move. He continued his run rounding the home turn, and as soon as the field had straightened up for home lie shot away and scored bv two lengths and alialf! “Few racegoers seriously considered him as a probable winner, and he started at good double-figure odds. The favorite was The Doctor’s Orders, and best hacked against him was Mural Crown. After the field had gone a furlong. I lie favorite van to the front, and ho maintained his position until the straight was reached. He. however, was soon beaten when Rulanut ranged alongside him. Sonnica was always in a-handy position, and she struggled oil well in. third place. Mystery Ship finished very fast, and was only half a head away fourth. Mural Crown also came home strongly, and was almost on terms with Mystery Ship. “Rulanut is a three-year-old hv Chief Ruler from Coconut, and is trained by G. .Tones for Mr. W. R. Kemhall. _ 11. Skidmore, who has not had much success in the saddle recently, rode the winner. The presentation of the gold cup was made by the chairman (Mr. J. H. White) to the trainer, G. Jones, who received if on behalf of the owner. As Rulanut won again at Caulfield last Saturday, creating a course record for a mile and 110 yards, he has evidently struck a patch of good form.
