DERBY AND BREEDERS'

New Zealand Is Collecting Sydney Cash

(By Cable.— From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Sydney Representative.) ANOTHER AJ.C. Derby ' has gone across the Tasman. Prince A Humphrey won Saturday's classic by sheer stamina, after Mellison's Vider, J. Daniels, had done everything to get the Seremond gelding beaten. Prince Humphrey would, perhaps,, have been unlucky to lose; yet Mollison should have won. It was just a question of right and wrong tactics. . . . . ■ „ ... It was the "Prince's" first outright win since coming over- Shortly after he ,d,ead-heated with First Acre at Canterbury Park a month ago, an offer of five thousand guineas was refused for him. The refusal was justified. Prince Humphrey was slow away from the machine, but worked through the field m good style. .. . . .- • The last furlong he swooped down on Mollison which looked as if he were home, and won m good style by half a length. Mollison was one of the leaders the whole way, but Daniels failed to make use of his brilliance after rounding the bend, and the Seremond gelding went under to Prince Humphrey's fast finishing run. Roscrea made a poor showing m the .classic. He^was well up for the major portion of the trip, but faded out over the last few furlongs. Consequent on the criticism^ levelled at the rider of Mollison, Owner Charlie Macindoe has .decided that Prince Humphrey will not go home, as was originally intended. He is now to go to Melbourne and will meet Mollison m the V.R.C. Derby at Flemington. For the first time for a long while, Limerick almost met his Waterloo. This was m the mile and a-half Spring Stakes. Ih a muddling run race, Winalot almost brought about his downfallHe was never far away from the Limond gelding and, joined issue at the distance. " The pair raced locked together to the post and the judge was unable to separate them. Limerick is no good thing for the Randwick Plate. Winalot may

bring about his downfall over the two-mile trip, m view of the form of the pair m the Spring Stakes. ' .Limerick should have won the Spring Stakes easjly, but Roy Reed, strange to Limerick, faile.d, to make use of his brilliance oyer the last •••■ few furlongs. ■■ > Concentrate was a dismal failure m the ten furlong Trial Stakes, . after having every chance. He was well up the whole way, but was found wanting at the end. Cimabue's failure m the Epsom was not surprising. He ran well, but the distahce found him out, and he took no part m the finish. Perception was unlucky m the second division of the Kensington Handicap. He was raced into the ground and hel.d off all but Quince, which beat him by a head. He was not allowed to start m theGrantham Staked on Monday, on the report of the veterinary steward. He was suffering from nasal trouble. Cimabue did no better on Monday than on Saturday. In a small field, he missed a/ place m the Shorts Handicap, after being one of the leading division to the distance. . The weights Cimabue is getting here are not conducive to success m good company, though his opportunity may come later when the'good horses have gone into retirement. The Maoriland youngster, Gold Tinge (Paper Money — Vicereine) took the richly-endowed Breeders' Plate oh Monday. Nothing had a chance with him. He bounded to the front m the first hundred yards and won, on the bit, by three lengths, after paralysing the opposition. Oratrix failed to follow the good example set. She. beat all but Jocelyn m the Metropolitan, after meeting with interference about half-a-mile from home. The form. was a big' improvement on her showings m the recent Rosehill Cup, and, the Hawkesbury Handicap. She may have won, but for the trouble she met with. Concentrate ran to his true form m the Grantham Stakes by failing to fill a place. He was again well up for the major portion of the trip, but died out the last few furlongs. Roscrea was sent out favorite for this race. He was never worse than second until the last bit, but the distance was too far. He finished a poor third. Amplifier, too, faded away over the last bit, after being one of the leaders for seven furlongs. There is no rush to buy this fellow. Satrap and First Acre were other Maoriland failures on Monday. Both were beaten m the Squatters'. Handicap. They were well m the picture for about a mile, but the last two furlongs were their downfall.
