MELBOURNE CUP FORM COMMENT ON RACE Onited Press Association--By Electric Telegraph —Copyright SYDNEY, November 6. Commenting on the Melbourne Cup, “The Sydney Morning Herald” says:— “The running of the race was that of a true stayer, and taking advantage of his comparatively light weight, Marabou achieved fame by winning the Cup. Marabou thoroughly appreciated Voitre’s riding tactics, by settling down at the 11 mile post, and thereafter he simply acted to the dictates of his rider. Marabou did not show the slightest intention to shirk, but Voitre determined that nothing should be left to chance in the straight. After Sarc-herie and Sylvandale had been beaten off, he continued to display vigour with hands and heels, and Marabou forced his way into the turf archives with a 21 lengths win. Until Marabou won the Cup yesterday, he had only too previous victories. Sarcherie was extremely unfortunate in finding Marabou in such rare condition, and she had to be content with second place for the second year in succession. Sarcherie was magnificent in defeat as was also Sylvandale, who gave a remarkable display, considering his weight. Old Shadow King showed wonderful dash over the final furlong, and only just failed to gain another place. Peter Pan’s tremendous weight was altogether too much f6r him, and he beat only four horses home. "The Daily Telegraph” says: Voitre’s experience of Marabou's peculiarities was a vital factor. Voitre, a master tactician, gained his greatest victory of a great riding career.
