PETER PAN'S LATEST

'A GREAT PERFORMANCE

(From "Vedette.")'

SYDNEY, March 23.

Although Peter Pan.'was not at his best last Saturday i u . the v Eandwick Stakes, he could' hardly have been far short, for he was always up with the leaders and then went on to win in the very fast.time of linin 36Jsee for the mile. ......

There was considerable doubt in the minds of many of the regulars at itandwick if Betcr Pan'would be fit enough to run a mile from end to end. Apart from a few smart sprints he had done mostly strong pace work, so that, like many good horses, apparently he works himself. He gave E Bartle an interesting- ride. 3. Pike will ride him in" the St. Leger and in any other races ia the autumn in which he can manage the. weight. W. Duncan •will, came from Melbourne for the lightweight riding. Naturally the clash that is coming with Silver Saorn was a fruitful topic of conversation, and the ardent admirers .of the colt will not hear of his defeat. The club which' stages the pair first in opposition ia assured of a big gate. ... Mr. E. E. Dan gar lost no time in taking Peter Pan out •of the Sydney Cup. Ho considered racing in tfiat event under nine Btone was too great a task. Little money was lost in doubles. ■ ~ ■:

Once again Bogilla, the unfortunate

at Eandwick, had to be satisfied with a second place. He - finished remarkably well and had Peter Pan flat out to defeat him by a length. Lough Neagh, the •Queenslander, also ran a sterling race, and with a little more elbow room in the straight would have been closer than the two lengths defeat into third place. Veilmond dropped too far back early, and although he put in a terrific run to the turn, he could not go on with it and was just out of a place. Johnnie Jason, making his first appearance this year, showed a good turn of speed as pacemaker for six. and a half furlongs. Satmoth ran a race which drew j attention to his handicap 'prospects.
