AUSTRALIAN TURF

RACING AT RANDWICK GUINEAS TO SHAKE SPEARE SILVER RING’S HILL STAKES (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) SYDNEY, Sept. 20. The Rosehill races, as a full-dress rehearsal for the Randwick spring meeting attracted very keen interest. Features were the defeat of Talking (who had been regarded in some quarters as Gold Rod’s most formidable rival) by Shakespeare, whom Gold Rod comfortably defeated at Warwick Farm, and Silver Ring’s victory in the Hill Stakes. Shakespeare displayed more doggedness than Talking-, who led into the straight, while Silver Ring, after racing attractively throughout, wrested victory from the pacemaker, Lough Neagh, who battled on courageously. Sarcherie was near the lead throughout.. Results were:—
