VICTORIAN DERBY
READING’S SPLENDID WIN DEFEAT OF HIGH CASTE ACHIEVEMENT OF CATALOGUE l.'nlled Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. CopyrlijM) (Received Nov. 6, 10.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 6 The Sydney Morning Herald’s Melbourne correspondent, commenting on the Derby, says: “Reading made his own sound pace and at no stage looked likely to be beaten by his great rival High Caste, whom he has beaten in six of their eleven meetings. Beau Vite did not run kindly in the straight, while Gold Salute was not in the picture at all and finished a long way last.” The Telegraph’s Melbourne correspondent says Reading’s brilliant win was planned by jockey Munro a week ago. The race was run to suit Munro’s scheme of securing a break on the field at the half-mile. Beau Vite could not come on. A big disappointment, however, was Gold Salute. He got badly away but never seemed able to pass a horse. The Telegraph, commenting on the Hotham Handicap, says Catalogue amazed racegoers by leading all the way, carrying 9.2, on a rain-sodden track.
