Airtight (€324) winding up favourite from Hymostrason (.€229), and Novar ( €161). But the favourite did not give a performance on par with what he had produced on the previous day, and Awapuni’s long list of successes in this class of event was 3 dd**<i to further when Hymestrason accounted for Airtight. Rangiutu was momentarily the leader, but be was out-jumped by Hymestrason, and the ultimate winner was racing two lengths clear of the bottom weight passing through the straight, with Airnd Novar following at similar intervals. Airtight ran up to Hymestrason half-a-mile from home, but the vwapuni representative refused to „jve way, although the pair were on Hose terms at the final fence, with Novar a couple of lengths away. The favourite again fenced badly. and Hymestrason straightened up with a length advantage, which Airtight could not recover in the run home. Novar likewise found his task impossible, and was two lengths further away, with Rangiutu a furlong back.

GOTHIC—MOLLISON

FINE RACE IN LLOYD STAKES PARKWOOD AGAIN BEATEN (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) MELBOURNE, Thursday. The Victoria Racing Club’s autumn meeting was continued at Flemington to-day. The weather was threatening, but there was a good attendance.

Cobranveil, who won the Pines Hurdle Race on the opening day, scored again to-day, winning the Autumn Hurdle Race over an extended distance in good style. T. Butler, who steered Cobranveil, has ridden the winner of the race on four occasions in live years. The C. M. Lloyd Stakes furnished a splendid contest between Gothic and Mollison. In the early stage of the contest Mollison was in second place, but lie had command at the distance. Gothic challenged in the run to the post, and amid great excitement the English horse got up in the last stride and made a dead-heat of it.

The Ascotvale stakes resulted in a victory for Spanish Galleon, who led throughout and scored brilliantly. Spanish Galleon is owned by Mr. E. M. Pearce, who furnished the winner last year with Mollison. A. Wilson, who had the mount on Spanish Galleon, steered Cyden to victory in 1926. Mondiaga was last to enter the straight in the Autumn Handicap, but won brilliantly. He was ridden by the ex-New Zealander, Ashley Reed, and is owned by Mr. T. M. Burke. The Governor’s Plate proved a mere exercise gallop for the Derby and St. Lcger winner Strephon, who led all the way. He has now recorded six wins and one second in nine starts.
