SYDNEY, Aug. 29.

Gold Rod started the season, brilliantly to.day by winning the HobarLvillo Stakes at Warwick Farm with the ease of a, super cull.

Gustos was in the picture to the turn, finishing in fourth place, but he. rail less impressively than tho piaee"elters, Shakespeare and Bobby. Hob ilov came from the tail end of a strungout field to finish ninth. Talking, who is a Magpie colt from the New Zealand mare Society, downed many good weight-for-ago competitors in the Warwick Stakes. Cuddle stayed with Talking ill the lead to the turn, where Talking drew away and won very comfortably from the veteran Queenslander; Lough Neagh, who beat Cuddle by 2g lengths. 1 Syl validate, who was a close fourth, was doing as well as Cuddle at the finish. Silver King raced sluggishly, and was always near the rear, while Kinnoul, who was much fancied, was somewhat of a disappointment, finishing ninth behind Allunga, Journal and Sarchcrie. _ i Peter Pairs half-brother, Brazilian, was second in the Farm Novice Handicap, in which Hands Up and the Athenian were unplaced. Brazilian made a mime effort to eipial the performance of Peter Pan, who, in 1932, dead-heated with Babili in this race. Bofli Peter Pan and Brazilian were sparingly raced as two-year-olds. In to-day’s race Brazilian made up a great amount of giound, out, was unable to overtake the winner, -Tuckerbox, who Jed all the way. The Athenian shaped poorly, finishing tenth.
