ZIRCON FOR RANDWICK
\ FTER Zircon’s fine showing in j the Hurdles at Avondale yesterday, owner-trainer W. Garrett j decided then and there to take the Merry Moment gelding to Sydney for the A.J.C. meeting opening on Saturday week. Accommodation has been booked by the Maheno, sailing from here on Friday next, and E. Garrett will accompany the horse to do the riding. There are two hurdle races and two steeplechases to be run at Randwick during the big spring carnival, each carrying £6OO added money, and, with a dearth of good jumpers in New South Wales, Zir- ’ con in his present form should more than hold his own. Being shipped from here on Friday means that he will not arrive in Sydney until Tuesday next, only four days before the meeting comThis will not be Zircon's first trip to the Commonwealth. He went over last autumn to contest the £3,000 Onkaparinga Steeplechase in South Australia, but fell when leading well two fences from i home. May his next trip be more fruitful!
