Ticiuo, who was the horse to give Autopay in6st trbiiljle in the 'Epsom Handicap on' Saturday, is one of the few to have n victory on the records over Phar Lap. The feat was accomplished over two years ago, and was then only just an ordinary performance, for the champion had still to. emerge, The race was the Three and: Four Yearold Handicap, seven furlongs, at the Kosehill Spring Meeting in 1029. Ticino was one of'the .-four-year-olds in the contest. The runners included Phar Lap, Nightinarch (then having his fiisb start in Australia), Gay Ballerina, and Briar Root. Ticino won by half a length from Violin Solo, with Woodgera two lengths away third.1 He was the favourite. - • . ; Ticino is one of the few horses by Valais yet racing. His dam is Pereskia, a mare by. St. Anton (a great sire of sprinters) from imported Liane,. by Wolf's Ci'ag. Liane was a full sister to Linaxsre; a good class middle-distance performer in England and a great Australian sire. Another grandson of Lionc is that brilliant gallrtper, Merab, who was second to High Disdain iv the Shorts Handicap at Kandwick yesterday. Merab also finds trouble in going. further than it mile.
