One of the worst race smashes in years occurred at the Moonee Valley races on Saturday when five runners fell in the first division of the Morang Handicap. A jockey, E. Preston, broke his left leg, and was rushed to hospital; and A. Breasley, who was injured in the back, was not permitted to ride again on the day. A promising West Australian filly, Barlowerie, died instantly of a broken neck. The crash occurred about three and a-half furlongs from home ' at the spot where Keith Voitre was killed in September, 1938. Preston’s mount, Star of The East, fell first, and the whole field appeared to crash into her. In a moment, the course was strewn with fallen horses and riders. ■ The favourite. Trellis, who was making a forward move at the time, was among the casualties, and the placings went to three outsiders, —

Lady Luba 1; Jenny Tressady 2; and Mount Beauty 3. Attempts to Get At Crack Three-year-old In Sydney Stable (Rec. 9.5). SYDNEY, August 29. Several attempts have been made in the last three months to break into his stable and interfere with the unbeaten three-year-old, San. Domenico. A special lighting system and burglar alarm have been installed by the owner, Mr Ray Formosa, who has refused fifteen thousand guineas for San Domenico, and who intends taking him to America next year. A few hours after the horse had won his first race on June 5, an attempt was made to break into the owner’s home. Another followed a month later, and there have been three more attempts within the past three weeks to get into the horse’s stable. On the last occasion, the lock was found broken, and the dooi’ slightly open, but'barking dogs had apparently disturbed the intruder. REEFTON J.C. HANDICAPS The official West Coast handicapper, Mr J.
