The following description ; of.the i-ce toy the Caulfield Cup is taken from the Sydney Daily Tclegnaph •—The first Ip rppear on the rimnthg-ground was' i ady Medallist, as if eager "To .defend, her position against aJTcdWefs. ‘The stable mates; Didus .and, Aurofodina, followed, while the last to emerge :of the paddock were Jolly Beggar and Eadiator. At,the start Aurofe>din»,. Sandhath, and .Flaya were, nearest ( tbo-inside rails; while Indiscreet,' Prince jjaci, and Flavian, were on The outside, aig| , without, a momienCs delay the,field weht'on its journey. In the scramble’fpr : ,positioph"round jdie first, turn Twa Brigs and Beverage were most successful, and they .showed the way to all thp others. Sis furlongs from home Indiscreet took charge and remained there .for; three furlongs,; Then Lady Medallist dashed past him and had two lengths’, lead on ■ landing in the straight, and being forped along, won by about eight lengths from Flavian, who just beat Aurofodina and Didus. That is .the story, in brief, of .one of the hoi lowest races for a cup of importance in this State. There was a hit 1 of a scrimmage after the field had run a furlpng and a half, and Eadiator was badlv interfered; with. It seemed to take all the_ steam out of him. There is mly one opinion amongKexpert racing men as to Barnett’s handling of Lady Medallist, and that is that it, was faulty, and only to be justified on, the grounds that while in the field Lady, Medallist was being dealt with, Non-racing men, on reading the account of t}ie race, will he inclined to think that Lady Medallist was splendidly handled, and yet if she had been, beaten her rider would have been accused of having thrown the race away by coming out too soon and making too much use of his mount, phere was; a bit of a scrimmage lust before the field left the i straight, a happening inseparable from Caulfield Cup* and Eadiator seemed to get more than his share of it. It was a particularly long effort that Lady Medallist sustained. It was quite six furlongs in extent, and'tliat she was able to keep it up shows unmistakably the extent to which s’he stood out over the others. Undoubtedly class enabled Lady Medallist to pull through. Late in the afternoon it was seen that Lady Medallist had been galloped on behind, and cut about a good deal in the race, and here is perhaps the explanation why she was taken, to. the front so early, and asked to continue her lengthy effort. If she had not been so superior to the others on the day, Lady Medallist ‘ could never have seen the race out. Under the circumstances referred ,to, her decided superiority told its tale ■ The result of the Caulfield Cup has not so; far had any marked bearing on the Melbourne Cup quotations in the way of affecting -their order;, but the success of Lady Medallist ia likely to bave the effect of-cramping considerably the prices and the. market in connection with the. big race of, tjbe jV'.R.O.. All those bookmakers who opened hooks, jon the Caulfield Cup When the jweights appeared and worked a big double on the two Cups, and who did hot go to the insurance office, are likely to have had their work for nothing, if they do not lose heavily. Lady Medallist was an early fancy for' the Caulfield Clip, and Was well backed accordingly., , The form that she and Aurofodina displayed in Sydnew a' mltsoayrpal ; shrdlac.o i -gyawtt an ney almost paralysed the, betting on the race, and pearly every ringman who had a set book on the, Caulfield Cup and did not reduce his liability against the winner lo it on the race. In addition' to this Lady Medallist was'particularly had in doubles, she was taken with everything considered to have a good chaiice of winning the Melbourne Cup, and that is sufficient to say that the operations of some layers of oda- must be restricted. Lady Medallist’s ov uer and some of the stable’s immediate connections are'big winners by that marc’s victory.
