RIDER FOR TYPHOON
Leading Jockey Approached SYDNEY, August 23, If the New Zealand horse, Typhoon, trains on satisfactorily, he Sviil be ridden in the CaulEeid and Melbourne Cups by the leading Sydney jockey, VV. Cook. Cook said he had been approached to take the mount, but everything depended on how the horse shaped in Australia. Typhoon is expected to arrive in Australia soon. It was only by an oversight, that he was not nominated for the big A.J.C. double, the Epsom and Metropolitan. Typhoon has already had substantial backing to win the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup double. His backing originated in the dream of a Melbourne sporting man, who has built up a reputation through the number of winners he has tipped. He claims that he dreams them aiid it was not until he had tipped the winning spring double two years in succession that people took him seriously. Now he has dreamed that Typhoon won the. two cups double, and a rush to back the horse has followed.
