TALK OF THE TURF

AUSTRALIAN TURF A.J.C. CARNIVAL CHATHAM WINS EPSOM DERBY GOES TO HALL MARK (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assu.) SYDNEY, Oct. L The Australiani Jockey Club’s spring meeting opened at Randwick on Satui;day in dull but line weather. The track was in good order despite the recent heavy rain. The attendance was 5U,000.

Bayacxe secured the opening event of the carnival on behalf of New Zealand, winning the First Brush Hurdles in dashing style. Bay acre caused his supporters some anxiety by his display of bad manners' at Iho barrier, but dually moved away to a good start and jumping splendidly throughout, gave nothing else a chance. Deputy Ruler, under a vigorous finishing effort by his jockey, Webster, made a bold bid to capture the Derby, but had to be content with second place.

Chatham was a pronounced public fancy for the Epsom, and won like a champion under the steadier of■ 9.10. Chatham won this event last year, the jockey Pike being the rider on each occasion. The jockey and'the horse received a remarkable ovation on reluming to scale.

Silver Scorn appeared likely to take an active part in the Spring Stakes. She made a bold forward move at the top of the straight, but weakened in the run home, and finished fourth. Peter Jackson was withdrawn from the Metropolitan at 3.37 to-day. Following are the results: —

The Sydney Sun describes Chatham as one of the greatest sprinters the Australian turf haw known. His performance in the Epsom, in struggling to victory with 9.10 on a holding track, against brilliant lightweights,: and fighting his way out of the 'ruck in the early stages, emphasises the merit of his acliieveinent. This is his second 1 Epsom.

The abject failure of Inflation, although in a good position, and finishing second to last, completely mystified the crowd, which had a high opinion of him prior to his start in the Epsom. The Sun pays a tribute to Hull Mark’s convincing win in the Derby, and Rogilla'’s wonderful burst of speed in the Spring .Stakes, which augurs well for his: Metropolitan chance on Monday, despite the probably heavy going, as light rain was again falling on Sunday.
