SYDNEY TURF NOTES

ANTIQUES FIRST WIN

(From "Vedette.")

SYDNEY, March 23,

Antique haa his second outing in Sydney '. at Victoria Park, yesterday, and although he was lucky to win, lie would have been most unlucky to have

been beaten.

Carrying 9.3 in a moderate iield, the weight allotted in tho Sydney Cup for which ho was promptly scratched, he was made a -hot fayonrite yesterday. He had a saloon passage on the rails until about a furlong from home, when, just as his rider was wanting to get out, he was surrounded by a mass of horses. About half a furlong from home he did get clear, and with a remarkable burst he won by a head. He can be improved hero but will find it difficult to win many races. The distance yesterday was a mile and two and a half furlongs, i

The pony, Miss Nottava, ran a great race in City Tatter.sall's Cup, and without doubt she is one of the best staying Chief Hulers. She carried 8.3 and was just as decisively second, as Mr. Kerry was the winner.

J. Barden, jun., who has had a gre"at 'run with the Violoncello gelding Irish Bard, scored again at Bandwiek, making four successes on. end. Irish. Bard is a probable handicap horse. Frinisel has given .W. B. Lorigan a little anxiety since her return from Melbourne. She has lightened up and is just pottering about at present. In Adulator (Limond-^Eulogy) J. T. Jamieson' has one of the, most stylish colts at Kandwick. He is a typical Limond and a chestnut in colour. So far nothing is known of his capabilities, fjor he has done little work. Closing Time, lumarch, and Prestige all look >vell. Voyager had his first run since the 1931 Breeders' Plato at Victoria Park yesterday. With 8.9 he was among the leaders in a mile maiden handicap to the turn and finished fifth.

X 'A. Reed struck trouble at Caulfield last Saturday, and for interference was suspended for two months. *

Havaspot seems unable to do better than gain minor places, these consistent efforts keeping him at the top of the weights. Ho ran another fine race at Randwieklast Saturday to finish third in Imin 25isee for the seven furlongs. Forestry, 8.0, was a starter in this event, but was not prominent at any stage.

Greenaway was tried in the seven.furlong woltor.at Eandwiek with 9.9, within 41b of Havaspot. She was handy enough to the turn, but then dropped out. It was'her first real test in. Sydney and was'; not encouraging for those who fancy her for the Dancaster Handicap. . Craigavon/ formerly trained at Riceaitoj), has had two runs of late, at Rajulwiek and at Victoria Park yesterday." In each race he shaped usefully, but is being well looked after by the handicappers. His third at Victoria Park in; a welter mile in Imin 40*sec was his best to date. Bush Melody, the' cause of all' the trouble at the last Victoria Park Meeting, was a starter again yesterday, but was well beaten at the turn. "However, Mr. Wootton won a race with Magaaver. • • •

Hugo, a massive -Nigger MinstrelPleasure two-year-old, made his Sydney debut yesterday. He looked considerably above himself. ...■■■•

A change of stables, although it meant leaving the Peter Pan establishment, has .changed Tui Mint's luck. After trying, for months to win a race, he scored: yesterday:. at'Victoria Park, much to the disgust of Frank McGrath who passed him on only last week. _ The Metropolitan winner, Denis Boy, finished well into third place in the open sprint at Victoria Park yesterday. The distance was too short but thfl shomng was entirely'encourag-
