AXE HITS McCARTEN

Sent Down For Three Months For Interference

(By Cable. — From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Sydney Representative.) CATURDAY was a bad day for Maurice McCarten. After an inquiry he was suspended for three months for alleged interference with Raasay m the Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick. McCarten won easily on Limerick, but m the straight, the Limond • gelding "lugged m" and interfered with Winalot, which, 1 m turn, Interfered with Raasay on the inside. • ' •'■■•' ■ • • - ■' This is bad luck for McCarten, who was engaged to ride Reonui m the Epsom, Jocelyn m the Metropolitan, Roscrea m the Derby and; Limerick m his engagements. . ■■■■■ ' , • . , Limerick was the only winner for Maoriland on Saturday. Ampli- . fie r was beaten m a division of the Novice,; after being handy the ' whole way. • ' ':■■■:■•■ Cimabue impressed with his third m, the. Tramway Handicap, behind Amounis and Habashon. He was well up throughout and ■■'■ battled on strongly over- the last hundred yards. , Cimabue is a likely one for the Epsom, and Saturday's race should improve him. .... . . First Acre ran a surprisingly good race m the Tramway; He was m the fighting-line, the whole way and finished close behind the placegetters. The star performance of the Maorilanders was established by Roscrea. Opposed by the Metropolitan favorites, he finished, fast m fifth place, after being badly left at the post. ■■•-,''•'• . , ' He is now a likely opponent for Mollison m the Derby. Roscrea's showing was a big improvement on his Rosehill effort, when he died away after having every chance. In the Shade was another failure. He was heavily backed m the ■ Mile Welter. ; ■ , "■'■ L; '- Getting away slowly, he finished gamely m third place and he ■ should not take long to win a race here. < ■ • •■ ■- r " ■'■ " nliiillitMiitiiiitilliiiiiiiiiiTiritiiiTiiliiillliliiiiiinitigriiliiliiiitiiiMiit iiiiiiiiiiiliMtitltllituciiiiitiinitititiiiiilliiliMiiiiruitilliiniiiiniiiiitiiriiiriiitniiiiiiriiMliiMiiiitttititliiiriiniliiNriiMriiiiriitiimiiiMiimili .anniMiuiininiiiniiiuniiiiiiiiMiiuiiiitiiitniuiiuMiiuiiuMiMiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiniinMiiiitinnniiuiuuiiiuiiiiHiitinniiuiuiiMnitiniMUiiiMMMiiiiimiiniiiiiMiMiMniiuMMiitimiiiMriiUNiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiai
