A GREAT VICTORY
ROGILLA’S SYDNEY CUP WONDERFUL BURST OF SPEED (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received April 18, noon) SYDNEY, April 18. . The Sydney Morning Herald, commenting on the Sydney Gup, says Rogilia won by means of an amazingly fast and long run. His speed carried him from a rear position at the mile to the lead at the half-mile, and his stamina enabled him to continue the run for the last half-mile and beat off a strong challenge by two lightly weighted,runners. The Daily Telegraph says Rogilla’s burst of speed was breath-taking and amazed the thousands who saw the race. Rogilla’s rider can hardly be complimented for the manner in which he rode the chestnut, and in winning under such circumstances Rogilia proved himself a first-class horse. Pretzel and Lough Neagh were both bumped during the race.
