RACING
A GREAT HORSE.
EASIEST OF WINS
(Australian Press Association.)
(Received this day at 11 a.in.) SYDNEY, November 5
The “Herald” says Phar Lap has definitely proved himself the champion of all the many thoroughbreds that have raced on the Australan turf, and is worthy of inclusion in the select limit of outstanding gallopers of the world. Making light of his tremendous weight, the greatest allotted a four year old in the history of the Melbourne Oup, lie came through the leaders at the turn like a flash of lightning and taking full control at the two furlongs, treated the spectators to one of tlie most perfect exhibitions of machine-like galloping ever witnessed.
The ease with which he accomplished the. task made the rest of the field appear very moderate hoises. Jt was one of the easiest wins in the Cup,. Tregilla’s dash was short lived and Balloon King’s effort was disappointing. Second Wind continued on much better than anticipated, while Shadow King had to .exert himself to the utmost to take third money from old Donald.
