Finmark was heavily backed both for the V.R.C. Derby and the Melbourne Cup. One of the wagers made a fortnight previous to the meeting consisted of backing the New Zealander to win £lOOO in the Derby and £6OOO in the Melbourne Cup.
Sir Ralph, who finished third in the Avondale Cup with 7.2, was second last year with 6.9 J to Chortle (9.9). He is by Rokeby from the Stepniak mare Rose Red, and may prove a better horse this year than heretofore.
