EL GOLEA BACK IN WORK SUCCESS OF FEMINIST IN SYDNEY By SIR MODRED At the Mentone (Melbourne) meeting last month two New Zealand-bred geldings gained place money. Turncoat (Pink Coat-Repudiation) ran third in the Trial Handicap, and Palencia (Paladin-Spanish Maid) was beaten by half a head in the Second Division of the Trial Handicap. Both are four-year-old geldings. The crack sprinter El Golea is to; resume work in Melbourne. It will be ■ remembered that a few days before; the running of the Melbourne Cup he . was shot in a stable at Caulfield. It , was feared that El Golea would not re- ■ cover from the outrage, but he is re- ; ported to be as active as ever in his i leisure paddock. The coveted double of the Indian i turf has been won at Calcutta by the ! English-bred horse Baqlava, a grand- ■ son of The Tetrarch (sire of the New; Zealand horse Tractor, imp.). The win- ' ner, trained by A. Higgins, an Aus- ' tralian. accounted for the King Em- j peror’s Cup (Im.), and the Viceroy’s ' Cup (2m.). Higgins, who is acclaimed ' as the leading trainer of India, has pre- ; pared five winners of the King Emperor’s Cup, and three of the Viceroy’s j Cup. He trained Ethics when the Syd- ; :aey gelding won the great Calcutta | louble in 1934. ; Tattersall’s Club is the oldest sportng body outside the Australian Jockey Club in New South Wales, and its first | neeting was held on the first day of | he year 1866. Two years later the club i istablished the Tattersall’s Club Cup,; ind the race has been run regularly ; iver since. It was in this event a few ; lays ago lhat the New Zealander' fours Truly ran one of his best races ! ;ince reaching Sydney, when he was j lefeated by half a length by Feminist,; >ne of the stoutest mares produced in ■ Australia for some years. The mare I :arried 8.2 and the son of the Southland lire Siegfried (imp.) shouldered 7.13. i Che .12 furlongs were run in 2min, I2sec. , Feminist's dam represents a noted | emale line of the Dominion. While she j vas by a stout imported English horse n Pantheon, by Tracery, her dam was l -oquacious. a full sister to Windbag, ] vinner of the Melbourne Cup and many i ithcr races, the majority at w.f.a.. He las long been recognized as one of the i nost successful sires in the Common- ' vealth. A high-class racehorse herself, I -oquacious was by Magpie (by Dark ; lonald, by Son-in-Law) from Charle- I ■ille (dam of Windbag), by Charle- ■ nagne II from Nithsevo, by Stcpniak grandson of Musket). With a pedigree I such merit and previous performnces to support her claims it was not urprising to find Feminist defeating the Tew Zealand Cup winner Yours Truly a Tattersall’s Club Cup.
