Telford were disinclined to take on Vigneat a differ* fence o£ 4£lb in the <3aulfield Clip, they endeavoured to' launch a'commission for the chestnut yesterday,:but .with indifferent result. There is. not 'a great deal of. betting on the Caulfield Cup yet,, and bookmakers . wer^T disinclined to listen to aiiy'talk about Phar; L»p, for all his mil. ■ r :',. 1 Dr. Stewart M'Kay, whp last week criticised Ammonrßa's Derby prospects, On Account of his breeding,' subsequently somewhat modified his opinion. He still will: not recognise Amnion Ka -as a genuine stayoiy which he considers' to b ; a horse capable of running two miles in ,3min 25sec. 'He does not Consider the Derby course to be the test of a stayer, but-wi.ll find, plenty to'disagree with him.. - . ;■■: • : '...-.- Pateeua was given a run at HawkesIburyybut again failed. It; would, not bo surprising if she were, sent home at an early' date. ' Prolyxo, Ammon Ka's ;sisterj has btcn working again, but since her attack of shin-soreness she has not galloped so : brilliantly:, Sho was disappointing oh Tuesday^ morning. Tho Dimmer, second favourite", for the Melbourne 'Cup, was produced at Hawkesbury under 9.12. He had a narrow escape from serious injury, due to being kicked on the, stifle by Fair Money, a bad horse at the barrier. The Dimmer afterwards sported a decidedly enlarged leg, but his: trainer was hopeful that he would not be affected' for long. :: Princess Dawn, tho Chief Ruler —Bon Chic two-year-old, is being sent back to New Zealand by Or. Price. She-is very small, and does not appear to be able to go further at present than two furlongs. Movie Star has been in the wars, and A. D. Webster has had a good deal of trouble attending to a deep wound in the leg received in, the Hobartville Stakes last month. Movie Star can hardly be iit his best at Randwick. ,
