TATTERSALL'S DAY

BOOKMAKERS' TRIUMPH

(From "Vedette.*.') SYDNEY, 31st Decembei. It was rather a coincidence that at Tattersall's Club's opening, day at 6andwick' yesterday the baokmakeis should have their best winning day foi monthß. Outsiders >rojled home in tour of the six races, and the other two winneis could not have been veiy expensive. Tho books to tell the hard-luck stoiy weie those members of the club's committee whose race day duties kept them off their stands. The star peitormance nab legisteied by Greenhne in the Carrwgton Stakes, the liorw, with 10.5, winning the six furlongs against a breeze in lmm 12%6ec. Although he was at forlorn odds in the betting, he was given a great leception. G. Price again supplied Old Ming toi a minor place. The chestnut, ridden in behind, finished fast to run Gieenline to a head. High Disdain agaiu began slowly, was last at the half-mile, and was flying in fourth place at the finish. Cathmar, regarded as "uniehable, has had several changes ol jockeys, and T. Webster-was tried on him ye^teiday in the penman Handicap. Webster succeeded in getting a genuine eftoit from Cathmar, the combination, being successful. Cathmar was helped to victory by Attar and Sosendo indulging in a bumping match in the straight., Huntique was a runner in a mile maiden handicap, but lasted little /more .than six furlongs, up to w^ich point he had,been prominent. Netleyl also ran inconspicuously in this event, and will be booked for the paddock before long. As one of the last of the Martians she has value as a brood mare. Being a galloping mate for Phar Lap did not impiove her as a lacing^ proposition. , ' Cynical, an attractive Silvius colt, made an impressive first appearance yesterday. He beat a useful field in- the Nursery Handicap, and did the bookmakers a good turn. He looks destined for better, things.

The difference in class ;MhS A. J;G:S and pony racing waa shown 'inlthe.CarringtoD Stakes.. THe crack- ■ 14fl:;^P'on3r>\Osal^OTC, who won at her last 6tart in:heir own class with 12.3, had, 7.4.in the big sprint. She had sufficient pace to;lead. for.four furlongs and a half, but then dropped right out

A. D.-'Webster.Tan' both Movie Star 10.0 and- My"Talisman^fl.S^ipf.thePacevWelter yesterday. Movie .Star, who appeared a trifle sore, showed up for six furlongs^ and My Talisman,: although he finished fourth, never really held awirining chance. Webster, reports- that First Acre has recovered,- and; will be fit' to go to Mcl? bourne in a fortnight's time.. • ■ ■ • \ ■

Grecian carried 9.7 in the Pace Welter, but was always in the ruck, and finished nearly last. The race, his fust for some time, should sharpen him up.
