WINOOKA IN AMERICA __ o IS THERE DEMAND FOR RACE WITH EQUIPOISE? Press Association.—Copyright New York, Sept. 7. , "I do not think there is a public demand for a race between Equipoise and Winooka," said C. B. Whitney, owner of Equipoise, referring to statements that Whiooka's connections are anxious to match the Australian horse against Equipoise. Whitney said: "The owners of Winooka have not communicated with me at all, but I would not want to have Equipoise take part in a race that would be one-sided and would have nothing to commend it except that it would have an international flavour."

Tom Healey, Equipoise’s trainer, expressed the opinion that if n challenge was rendered the race should be a mile in view of the fact that Equipoise recently won the Saratoga Cup at 1, miles and was now training for the Jockey Club Geld Cup at two miles. Ho said that on the basis of Wlnooka’s single American appearance no relieved Equipoise could bout him in any race from six furlongs to six miles. Other racing men stated that if Winooka would brat one horse of known calibre the eastern turf world would consider him seriously. Many sceptics are inclined to think Winooka’s management is making an effort to capitalise on Phar Lap’s reputation, which was promptly recognised in America.
