AUSTRALIAN TURF

Talking's Win at Rosehill Impresses derby prospects intriguing (Beceived 21, 8.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, Sept. 20, According to tbe United Press AssQciation's turf eritic, Talking's per- [ formance at Bosehill impressed more ! favourably tban Gold Bod's, Tbe | Chanter was somewhat disappointing, and, unless Prittle Pilattle, Tuckiar and Eveniflg Mist do soinetbing extraordinary at tbe fofthcoffiing meetings at HaWkesbUry and NeWcastle, Talking is sound to remain tbe cbief topie in tbe Epsom discussions. Gay Blonde, Disaito and Tbe Marne are unlikely starters in tHe Epsom Bandieap. Tbe Marne was kicked and injured at tbe Tattersall's meeting. Tbe New Zealand borses Gourtcraft, Aiwai and Francis Drake pleased tbeir trainer, Davis, on Saturday. Tbe Derby position is most intriguing for years owing to tbe presence of tbe Ajax, Avenger, Huia and Courtcraft. No cbange, bowever, bas occurred in the Metropolitan outlook. Mr. Alan Oooper deelares emphatically tbat be bas the winners of tbe Epsom and Metropolitan double in Talking and Maia. He paints out tbat if both win tbey are liiable to be rebandieapped and furthet penalised fOr tbe Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, in whieh case, rather than risk overburdening Talking and Maia, be will sbip tbem to Amefica by tbe MaripOsa on November i2.
