Mr. R. AVootton, the well-known Australian owner-trainer, who has for a number of years been engaged in racing in England, is expected to return to Australia shortly. While the war was on Mr. AVootton, who is the father of the successful horsemen Frank and Stanley AVootton. found much pleasure in entertaining Australian soldiers at his Epsom establishment, which is considered one of the finest residences and training quarters in England. One of Mr. AVootton’s most recent successes was attained with Muscovite, who won the mile and a-lialf Apprentice Plate at the Epsom spring meeting last April. He told several visiting Australian soldiers who were on furlough that the horse “could not lose.”
