Eurythmic, who is a hot favourite for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, won the October Stakes- (1% miles), weight for age, at the V.R.C. October meeting at Flemington in comfortable fashion by a length and a-half from Ethiopian, with Accrington third. He ran the last half-mile in the good time of 49% sec., which was surprisingly fast considering the state of the going. Last Saturday at the Victorian Amateur Turf Club’s spring meeting, Eurythmic added further to his winning record by capturing the Caulfield Stakes (1% miles)" in easy style by a couple of lengths from Tangalooma, with Comedy Queen third.' The occasion marked his eighth win out of his last nine starts, he having dead-heated in his other engagement, the Perth Cup. The son of Eudorus and Bob Cherry, who will contest the Caulfield Cup on Saturday next (October 16) has returned his owner well over £6OOO in stakes in connection with his last nine starts, which must be accounted a phenomenal record. Eurythmic’s complete record is twelve wins, one dead-heat, and one third out of 17 starts. As a yearling he cost 310 guineas in Sydney. He did all his early racing in West Australia, where he won over distances from five furlongs to 1% miles, and dead-heated in the Perth Cup (two miles).
