MASTER BRIERLY WINS

A.J.C. PLATE AT SYDNEY

ONLY SUCCESSFUL NEW ZEALAND HORSE

Press Association- -Copyngiu Sydney, April 28.

Delightful weather favoured the con- i elusion of the A.J.C. autumn carnival at! Randwick on Saturday. There was an I attendance of 26,000 and the track was \ in splendid order. The Australian Jockey j Club reports that it was the best autumn meeting since 1929. The meeting was notable for the number of closely fought finishes, which is an indication of skilful work on the part of the handicapper. Silver Jubilee ran prominently in the early part of the Rous Handicap but suffered interference at the leger and appeared to lack dash after that. Master Brierly, running at the tail of the field till the straight entrance was reached, then unwound a brilliant finishing run to annex the major prize, the A.J.C. Plate, by two lengths. Gold Trail after leading most of the journey faded in the final furlong. Master Brierly's time has been bettered only once in the history of the race, when Phar Lap established an Australian and New Zealand record in 1930.

Miss Nottava was injured in the Dangar Handicap, her near hind leg being badly cut below the hock. Results are:—
