SPORTING.
Trafalgar’s great performance in winning the Randwick Plate on the fourth successive occasion shows that the son of Wallace is still a long way from being a back number. He has now Avon twenty-four races and nearly £22,000 in stakes. Carbine, who is the only Australian racehorse to aviu a greater amount in prize money, was successful in 33 races, worth over £29,000. It is quite Avithin the bounds of possibility, a sporting Avritcr remarks, that Trafalgar may yet equal this record, for, besides having a lot of valuable Aveig-ht-for-ago races in Avhich to compete, lie is engaged in the Melbourne Cup, of 7000 sovs. Royal Scotch, avlio Avon tho Caulfield Stakes on Saturday, Avill only have 7st 9lb to carry in the Cup next Saturday, and as he meets practically all tho horses ho defeaten on more advantageous terms in the Cup, he is likely to again take the position of favourite in the hetting market.
