A FORTUNE WON
Before the Sires’ Produce Stakes at Flemington on March 5, J. T. Jamieson, trainer of High Caste, said the giant colt would win by half a furlong, says a Melbourne writer. High Caste did not gain the honours as easily as that, but he outclassed all except the placegetters, and came home with his ears pricked Zonda who finished second, and Aurania, third, were both decidedly unlucky at critical stages of the race, but probably High Caste could not have been beaten in any case. High Caste was backed for a fortune. Only Wilson and Zonda were backed against him. Four bets ’of £IOOO to £125 were laid against Zonda, and £IOOO to £175 was the best bet against Wilson.
