I The Daily Telegraph says: Gloiun- ' ing's was one of the most striking displays of galloping ever seen at Randwick. He behaved somewhat unkindly at the post, and lost some lengths by slipping half-way round, but from that point he settled down Ito work nicely. He assumed control before the field reached the home turn, , and once in the straight left the others as if they were standing. It j was a remarkable performance, as Gloaming, it is understood, had never j been in a race before. Y.A.T.C.
