This was endorsed by his trainer, Bain, and his pacemaker, Ford. Bain considers it a far fairer course than that on the Parramatta, and superior in every way. The finish will be threequarters of a mile lower down the river than the finish of the Webb-Stanbury race. There is but one easy turn in three miles, and a mile straight at the finish.
