GLOAMING'S RACE. Tver a Assno.iar.Uin- Convright (Received 12.3 pVlll.*) .Sydney. September 10. The Telegraph adds: No. one was more pleased with the form shown by Gloaming than the haudicapper. MiDaly. He called on Gloaming to concede veigllt in the Novice Handicap lo n number of horses who had some form, and Gloaming was promptly scratched. Mr Daly took the view that if he was wrong in estimating Gloaming's ability, it was better to sjwil the chances of a novice than weight him in a way that would quite spoil the race if his estimate of this galloper proved correct. The writer speaks- favorably of Gloaming's Derby expectations and adds: 'Apparently Gloaming had not given any evidence of remarkable galloping powers when the entries closed for the Epsom ,a*nd Metropolitan and the two Cups, otherwise he might have got into one or more of these races in a way that would be a nightmarc to the weight-adjusters.
