PASSED ON
THE BANKER AND ULAH WILL RACE IN SINGAPORE The Banker and Ulah have finished racing in Australia. They were sold privately last week and were to leave for Singapore yesterday. Australian jockeys who have recently ridden in the Federated Malay States and Straits Settlement say the horses at present racing there are decidedly poor, and that may give The Banker a chance in shorter races than he would have any hope of winning in Australia.
The Banker (Kilbroney—Bonville), who is rising nine, won the New Zealand Cup, among’other good races in the Dominion, and in Victoria his wins were the Balaclava Stakes, Herbert Power Stakes and V.R.C. Handicap. He also ran second in a Caulfield Cup, fourth in an Australian Cup, and fifth in a Melbourne Cup.
In Sydney this season he regained a little of his earlier form, winning the A.J.C. November Handicap, lh miles (5.7), and the Rosehill December Handicap, II; miles (9.5). Ulah, who will be seven in August, is by Magpie from Booran's Sister, and is the winner of four races at dis-
tances ranging from six furlongs to a mile.
He was so promising as a four-year-old that Mr. O. Falkiner gave 2,ooogns for him, but though he ran well in that owner’s colours, on other occasions, he won only two races for him. As he is speedy and a weight-carrier, Ulah should do well in his new home.
