EARLY BIRD WINS
NEWMARKET TRIAL STAKES CAN AJAX SET RECORD? DEATH OF TWO-YEAR-OLD Received March 1, 9.40 p.m. MELBOURNE, March 1. Larry Resta, owned by the New Zealander, Mr. Hazlett, won the First Division of the Lambourn Handicap at Mentone to-day. Desert Chief, owned by Mr. G. J. Barton, showed his best form for some time by finishing second in the Berkshire Mile. Early Bird enhanced his Newmarket prospects with an easy win in the Newmarket Trial Stakes to-day. Ajax will not be running in the King’s Cup. He will start in the King’s Plate on Thursday, and in the Lloyd Stakes on the final day of the Flemington meeting, and then go to Sydney for the Easter Carnival. Owners are keen to see Ajax set a record for successive victories, which is shared by Gloaming and Desert Gold with nineteen wins. Cyclist, one of the best two-year-old fillies of the season, died yesterday from peritonitis which developed after Cyclist had displaced a bowel when running in the Federal Stakes on the first day at the Caulfield meeting.
