BEUALIVRE'S " HAT THICK " MEETS HIGH CASTE IN CHELMSFORD STAKES SYDNEY, September 14. Continuing His winning way, Beaulivre completed the “ hat trick ” on Saturday when he won the rich Chelmsford Stakes at Tattersall’s meeting, held at Randwick. He also established superiority over High Caste, but the latter showed more dash on Saturday than in his recent races, and an interesting duel between the pair is expected in the Epsom Handicap, for which they are almost equal favourites. The Lord Quex colt Pinero, who won the Three and Four-year-old Handicap, downed the odds-on favourite Evergreen for the second time within a fortnight. Beaupartir and Gladynev held forward positions in the Spring Handicap, but neither threatened danger in the final stages. The stewards held an inquiry into Gladynev’s running, and accepted the explanation of the stable connections. The stewards later reported that they reprimanded the jockey, Shean, for his indifferent handling of Gladynev. TRAMWAY HANDICAP, £SOO. Seven furlongs. TKLASTDR, 7.8 (Knox) 1 Katanga, 7.13 (Bartle) 2 Radical, 8.3 (Ashmore) 3 Fourteen started. Brazen Boy was scratched. Won by a head, with a length between second and third. Time, Imin 25sec. CHELMSFORD STAKES, £I,OOO. One mile, one furlong. BEAULIVRE (N.Z.), 9.7 (Munro) 1 High Caste, 9.7 (Bartle) 2 Pandett, 7.9 (Cook) 3 All started.

Fourteen started, including Beaupartir and Gladynev. Won by a heck, with three-quarters of a length between second and third. Cooranga was fourth, Gladynev sixth, and Beaupartir ninth. Time, 2miu ojsec. The jockey Munro expressed the opinion that Ajax would have a hard task to beat Beaulivre in weight-for-age races in Melbourne in October and November. The first clash is likely to be the Caulfield Stakes. . Beaulivre’s time for the Chelmsford Stakes on Saturday, Imin Sljsec, is actually as meritorious as Heroic’s Imin SOJsec in 1924, as, owing to the false rail in use on Saturday, Beaulivre covered 27yds more than the customary distance, nine furlongs. Three colts whose prospects for the A.J.C. Derby were enhanced by Saturday’s outings were the Victorians Lucrative, Pandett, and Scientist, the last-named winning the Randwick Novice Stakes in hollow fashion. Beaulivre may not race again until the Epsom. He is thoroughly -fit and needs no further racing. He would be penalised in the Hill Stakes on September 21, and that race is not easy to win with a penalty. M'Menamin mav ride Mildura in the Epsom. Beau Vite’s mission is the Metropolitan. The jockey Cook has been released from his mount on Early Bird in the Epsom and will ride Reading. The diminutive npnrentiee iockey, G. Young, a son of Gloaming’s former rider, achieved his first van on Pinero.
