PETER PAN WINS AGAIN

DUKE OF GLOUCESTER CUP SYLVANDALE WINS THE BATMAN. / CLOSING TIME’S LINLITHGOW. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 6.30 p.m. Melbourne, Nov. 11. The weather was fine and there was an excellent attendance, including the Duke of Gloucester, for the fourth day of the V.R.C. Cup meeting. Polygonum had the first success m two and a-half years in the Windsor Hurdle. Bumbumie, winner at the previous four starts, was a game second. Peter Pan won the Cfip with something in hand. He was last early in the race. Broad Arrow fought gamely but was no match for the. winner. Hyperion ran a fair race but Nightly was disappointing. Peter Pan in-five ■ starts has registered five wins at Flemington, and his stakes winnings-now total £27,585 10s. He will probably return to Randwick to race in the Gloucester Plate on November 22. Sylvandale compensated for a narrow Derby defeat in the Batman Stakes. Barak improved on Thursday’s form and Robert finished strongly. Aureus led always in the Flemington Stakes, but the New Zealander Debham was rapidly overhauling him at the post. Whernside and Night Club, ran poor races. The winner cost 350 guineas as a yearling. L’Elite led practically all the way in the Linlithgow, but tired and was no match for Closing Time in the last furlong, the last-named displaying improved stamina. Sweet Trilby led always in the Ottawa Handicap and beat the fast finishing Sallyinstep. Fulojoy was never dangerous. There was an exciting finish in the Final Handicap. Upoko Ariki defeated Nellie’s Tip in the last few strides. Upoko Ariki has had three wins in the last four starts. A protest was lodged against Upoko Ariki but was dismissed. The stewards inquired into Polygonum’s form to-day compared with the running in the Ascot Hurdle on November 1, but adjourned the investigation until 3 p.m. on Monday. _ Sectional times were:— Gloucester Cup: First two furlongs 28|s., next four 53|5., succeeding four 5225., last four 515..
