SPORTING.

CAULFIELD RACES. MELBOURNE, Sunday. Tliere -was delightful weather for the final day of the Caulfield races, and although the attendance was good, it was below that of previous years. Amounts gained now fame' by breaking the Australian and New Zealand records for stakes, age and weight. Vanto was always nicely placed, and won the Oby Hurdles neatly. He was ridden by that versatile jockey, J. Winks.

Gallantie, who was third early, won the Gwyn Nursery narrowly. He is trained by Halt, and cost 200 guineas as a yearling. His owner, Mr Kellow, also races Bold Bid; the latter cost 1200 guineas. Vauntrim was always handy, and won the Wyuna Steeples comfortably. The owner, Mr J. F. Ryan, won the corresponding event two years ago, with Woomera.

Amounis ’s remarkable win in the Caulfield Cup is the greatest performance of his brilliant career, and he had the best reception ever given a horse in Victoria. He has now won £48,150 in stakes, which is a record for Australia and New Zealand. He has contested 76 races for 33 wins, 11 seconds and 7 thirds. Amounis is now in his ninth year, and is the oldest horse to win the race, and his weight (9.8) is the highest ever carried to victory.

Amounis’s rider, Cook, stated that in order to got a clear run he had to come on the outside, as he was unable to get through. Amounts started a red-hot favourite. The second horse was well supported, but the third was a rank outsider. ■ Sectional times for the Cup were as follows:— First four furlongs 53sec., last half 50-isec., last six 1.161, final mile 1.41 J. Paquin and Cash King were fatally injured in the Steeples. Mira Donna finished fast, and won the Burwood Handicap narrowly. He was ridden by the New Zealander, Ashley Reed.

Mystic Peak was seventh at the home turn, but finished best in the Windsor Handicap, and gave Reed his second win. Mystic Peak was bred in New Zealand, and is a stable-mate of Cragford.
