DEFAULTER A NON-STARTER
BADLY FILLED OFF FORELEG SYDNEY, September 11. New Zealand horses are well represented in the Hill Stakes, £SOO, one mile, at the Rosehill Meeting next Saturday. The top weight is Defaulter with 9.7, which includes a 71b penalty. Included in the field are Gold Rod, St. Constant, Royal Chief 9.3, Te Hero, Respirator 9.0, Beau Ropaire 7.12, Pearl of Asia 7.2. Defaulter, however, will miss this event and may even miss other important spring races owing to his off foreleg having filled badly, accompanied by considerable heat. He had! a hard race on Saturday on a hard track, due to recent dry weather. If his preparation is interfered with racing folk will be greatly disappointed, as they have a soft spot in their hearts for him New Zealanders in the Camellia Stakes, £250. seven furlongs, in which the top weiglit is Brazandt 9.4, are Te Hero 8.3, Bonheur, De Fere 7.2. High Caste, Reading, Wilson, and Bonny Loch are entrants for the Rosehill Guineas, £750, one mile one furlong, which is likely to prove an attractive race.
Paddy the Rip 9.0, Moorsotis and Glenora Boy 8.9 figure among the weights for the High-weight Handicap, £2OO, seven furlongs, in which Brazandt 10.13 and Spearddle 10.8 head the list.
