Did a Better Trial Than Trivalve

CARRADALE’S DERBY CHANCE Carradale. one of last Thur*a workers at Rand wick, not very bright, but has the appearand a horse that has done a lot of . v' work. "Olid He is of different type f ro _ v Zealand's hope. Honour, as *hourfc W lacking substance, he is built on !i.M Ot lines, writes “Pilot.” “Soter Honour is a thick-set colt of the that generally suggests greater snri. ing than staying powers, but thosT'" a position to know most about him J 5 not afraid that he will fail at L and a-half. ■ ®“‘« He will tackle the Derbv without , earlier race, but Carrada'lo is in ts Rosehill Guineas. Presumably he «7u be a runner, but if J. Scobie decto,. against it he will be adopting course that was a success with Tv valve. Jn ‘ A Long Interval Between running third in the \jc Champagne Stakes and winning A.J.C. Derby, Trivalve did not stm and J. Scobie had the satisfaction u proving that he could get a horse read' for an important event without rar—it into form. as It was nothing new for him. thouch there are many trainers who wouldbs lost without public form to guide then as to their horses’ chances. Carradale’s last run was when U beat Sir Kibble in the Easter Stake* It was not exactly form to enthuse over, as up to that time Sir Kibble’s deeds were moderate, and Carrada’e who was giving him 71b, beat him only a head. Whether the report was well founded is indefinite, but recentlv word reaew Sydney that * Carradale had shown something quite as good as Trivalve prior to the latter’s A.J.C. Derby victory. If so, Mr. L. K. S. Mackinnon's colt will be a hard horse for any of ths Sydney division to beat. It is doubtful whether our lot will be any stronger than in Trivalve's year, and a horse of the latter’s class woc'i probably win the coming Derby. May Enlighten Backer 6 Another Victorian in Parkwood » getting through a nice preparation, bur there are many racing men who throw doubt on him as a stayer. The Rosehill Guineas should show whether this is justified, but unle.«« he wins that race or sound excuse is possible in the event of non-succe?s : his Derby price on the day will be longer than is at present on offer. He will not be picked as one likely to te better suited by a mile and a-half titan nine furlongs. Phar Dap has finished impressively at each of his last starts against older horses, and caused F. Foulsham to remark subsequent to the Chelmsford Stakes: “I was glad there was no further to travel. I was trying to drag t’n* winning post back to Mollison.” Phar Dap (who won last Saturday's Rosehill Guineas) was not quite as unlucky in running as Comanche, and was also in receipt of 3 01b from the latter. In consequence opinions are divided as to which was the better performance, but as against the difference in weights is the fact that Phar Lap came home so strongly that another half-furlong might have given him a win. allowed Comanche to ease sKghlty when he had no chance of win- ! ning, and he was pleased with his , showing. It is now practically certain ; McCartfn will rid** him in the Derby, i Reverting to Phar Lap. he has stayI ing blood on each side of his pedigree, j He is the second foal thrown by En- ; treaty-, who is by Winkie from Prayer : Wheel, by Pilgrim’s Progress from j Catherine Wheel, by' Maxim. Hopes for Pentheus j Pentheus, who was taken out of the j Chelmsford Stakes on the course, has I done well since he ran at Warwick I Farm, and is a possible stayer. Lorason is now’ more likely than Firbolg to represent B. Fay ten’s stable in the Derby*, and as Cathmar, trained by* J. King, has not shone at his last two starts. Mr. Hunter White may not have a runner in that race. However, lie would be satisfied if Mrs. White won with Lorason. Toper’s trainer is hopeful he wil 1 prove a Derby’ colt, but though he has run well at seven furlongs, and gamely’ to beat Holdfast, he will nee2 to win the Rosehill Guineas in ordeto cause backers to give him preference to Phar Lap and Comanche, kt alone some of the visiting division. And it must also be remembered that the Derby distance has proved beyond many’ Guineas winners. Sir Kibble is a certain Derby starter, and as Magnifier is progressing sati. c * fa**torily* the probabilities favour hi® being a runner. Whatever be doe® ; in the spring he is likely’ to improve on it in the autumn. Discounted By Form Last Saturday’s (September *** f??" ning appeared to dispose of Xedda.
