THOROUGHBRED SALES United Press Association—By ‘Oeotiic Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 3, 11.20 a.m ) MELBOURNE, March 3. At the thoroughbred sales at Melbourne to-day, Mr D.

On the first day at Woodville, Courtcraft 8.1 beat Son and Heir 7.13 by a length, and apparently was about 101 b better of the pair. On the second day Smoke Screen 9.5 beat Son and Heir 8.5 by over six lengths and seemed to be at least 241 b superior. At Trentham, Smoke Screen has to give Courtcraft only 51b, and looks to have the best of the figures. But Courtcraft cost 1200gns and has been boomed accordingly.

The New Brighton Trotting Club received 81 nominations for its Challenge Stakes to be held in the spring of 1938. Run over a mile and a quarter, the Challenge Stakes will provide a trial for the New Zealand Derby, to be' decided at Addington some weeks later.
