As comparisons with Carbine’s record in regard to stake money are continually being mentioned, one finds that, roughly, 45 per cent must be added' to Carbine's total of 129,626 sovs. to make the comparison of use and quite fair, making ihe figures 42,957 sovs. Taking his most successful year, when his Melbourne Cup amounted to over lO.OOOsovs., bis total for the year was 15,58650v5. The races to-day, or their equivalent, tire endowed with 22,65650v5., an increase of approximately 45 per cent. Thus on the basis of mere slake money the present day champions really have to earn more than 52,95750 vs 1o defeat Carbine's record. As io ihe merits of the respective horses, past, and present. that is another question and purely a matter of opinion.
