ONE UP'S AIL WAY WIN:
FLEMINGTON
LISTON STAKES
'! Flemington,-The English horse One Up, hav-
ing its first race in Melbourne-he raced four times
in Queensland in the winter--created a fine impres-
sion by the manner in which he won the J. L. Liston
Stakes this afternoon. One Up led soon after the
start and he was not afterwards headed. Ellerslie
raced up smartly and almost got on terms with him
round the turn, but One Up; fighting on gamely
under the whip, won by 1] lengths, with Ungar
third. ' ;
One Up, who is engaged in both Cups with 8/7,
started at 16 to 1. There was little money for him in
the ring.
Although the early pace was slow, speed was
clapped on in the last half-mile and One: Up was
timed to run that distance in 47] seconds. Ellerslie
was not disgraced, but Ungar was disappointing.
The early pace was slow. One
Up, beginning well, was allowed
to race along in front. At the
half-mile he was' pulling so_ hard
and so were the horses behind
him. .
Pur tell, on Ellerslie, realising
that he could not afford to be
giving so much, start allowed his
mount to go round thc field sharp-
ly and on the turn he was almost
o» terms with One Up. Ungar
was behind' them, while Stamen
was going well wide out. .,:
Ellerslie struggled' hard about
Hi furlongs from the >post to get
on terms with the English horse, j
bul One Up was stretching 'out j
very freely and Ralph was riding
him hard. j
Breasley, on Ungar, seemed un-
decided whether, to wait for a run
on the inside or to. go between
Ellerslie and One Up. Finally he
decided on the. latter course, but
Ungar made' only a half-hearted
effort and it was obvious 100 yards
from tho post that he could not
win.
EASY WIN
Timekeeper scored an easy vic-
tory in the Sandhurst Hurdle in
which he defeated-the consistent
Regular Treasure with Bokarra a
poor third'. .
The field was'fairly moderate,
with the exception of Parilla's
Pride, who a fortnight ago- won
the Adelaide National Hurdle. He
was always favorite today, but
toppled over at the hurdle near
the Ave furlongs. He was a fair
way back and had jumped rather
high at most of his hurdles, which
he found much different to the
brush in Adelaide.,
.Lombardy, who was the leader
facing along the river-side! crashed
nt the hurdle at the half-mile, and
left Regular Treasure, and Time-
keeper in front from Chief Com-
mand. Timekeeper, on the out-
side, got thc upper hand enter-
ing thc straight and cleared the,
last hurdle not very cleanly. His
pace on the flat was too much for
Regular Treasure and he defeated
that gelding comfortably. Bokarra
struggled in Into third place, beat-
ing a tired lot.
HUGE FIELD
Regal Scout, in beating, a huge
Held in the Chesterfield Handicap,
proved himself one of. the smartest
sprinters and most promising 'of
Hie present batch of three-year
aids. He won narrowly by a neck
from Spoor with Noble Prince a
tjuod third.
. Backers showed skill in their
judgment.
Although lt was the largest field
in recent years down the straight.
Regal Scout was favorite. Regal
Scout, whose main mission this
spring is the Caulfield Guineas, has
now had eight races for six wins.
Regal Scout was always well
placed and Purtell waited until
about a furlong from home before
uskiug the colt to gather up thc
leaders. He responded splendidly
after a short, sharp struggle with
Spoor close to the post and he was
leading the big chestnut when the
winning line was reached.
There was a batch of horses very
close together following Regal
Scout and Spoor and the Judge
culled for n photo before hoisting
?îoble Prince as.the third horse.
One of the horses tu finish close
up behind the placed horses was
tho Melbourne Cup topwclght,
Carbon Copy.
Curbun Copy BH!V.\v«h he finish-
ed well could not get up to the
leaders over the short distance
However, at the same time his
performance. was satisfactory and
he raced kindly and the outing
will do him good.
Spoor, did not weaken a great
deal and he was able to beat Nobie
Prince Cleverly. High Tar. was
beaten for third money by about
a head. El Faloos was only a few
inches away while . Kintail," Com?,
mend and Carbon Copy finished
almost in line. , - ? ; -
The two most satisfying perfor-
mances were" by Regal" Scout and
Carbon Copy. However, High Tar
did quite well and he will be im-
proved by the race.
WON UNTROUBLED
Chicquita, a three-year-old filly,
proved herself a galloper above the
ordinary when she scored a ridicu-
lously easy win in the Effingham
Handicap, first division.
Chicquita proved the good thing
thc betting indicated by leading
practically, throughout to win by
four lengths from Patron with
Syrian Sun a fair third. :
Chicquita was first to show out,
and when the field had gone about
a furlong'she was joined in front
¡by Syrian Sun. Bbghasi, Greek
Legend and Prince . M'arbec were
also well placed.
JYaymouth, rider of Chicquita,
¡ allowed. Syrian Sun. to keep him
[company until the sti'aight was
reached, when he gave the favorite
more rein; Chicquita quickly
strode away from her rivals to set
up an unassailable lead.
WINNER HOOTED
There was a mild "demonstration
when the.. South Australian colt,
Royal Pharos, won the Effingham
Handicap, , second division, Last
week wneh 'Royal-Pharos started
strong . favorito and failed at Moö
nee Valley it was alleged he was
hit in the eye with a clod of dirt:
Today his rider, S. Ralph, made
sure that ho would avoid the same
misfortune and led all the way.
His win w'as received with mixed
[feelings by. many of the patrons
in the paddock, hill and flat, al-
though there'were cheers to coun-
ter the jeers.
Royal Pharos had such a handy
lead rounding the turn that it was
obvious he would win a long way
from home. Centurion finished
gamely, but he was beatón rather
easily. Accordion was a fair third.
. The judge called for ? a photo
before awarding Accordion third
position over Freighter and the
margin between the two must have
been very small.
Royal Pharos reared and
wheeled a good deal before the
start, but*4ie was fortunate enough
to be standing quietly when the
barrier lifted and he immediately
went to the front.
Others well placed were Cen-
turion, Gilt Archer, Freighter and
Laos. At the half-mile Laos was
very clase to Royal Pharos and
Centurion was going well behind
them. Accordion had moved up
and so too' had Southland.
However, approaching the turn
Royal Pharos shot away and the
advantage that he obtained at this
stage of* the' race made defeat for
him out of the question. Centuri-
on was hard ridden in an endeavor
to overtake tho leader and a¿
though ho gradually made AXP
ground. Royal Pharos had too
much start. ? .
GOOD STAYER
South Australian- stables had
their third win .when Pistol Chief
struggled home ? by a, nose - from,
Mannkau iii a magnificent, finish
in the Anniversary Handicap.
Tibekpeeper and !. Royal Pharos
were the other, two South Austra-
lian', horses'to wio today.
For the second time since: the in-
stallation of the camera the win-
ning margin between; the first
two horses was a nose, ,
¡ Pistol Chief, who came to Mel-
bourne . with the reputation of
being a stayer, lived up to it by
contesting every inch of the last
furlong.; Pistol Chief is a good
type Of staying handicapper* arid
because of the prohibitive weights
he gets in South Australia his con-
nections plan to race him in Mel-
bourne for some time. V
Pistol Chief embellished his
amazing . record for having won
12 times at his .last 13 starts. ?
Racing to the Ave furlongs post
Pistol Chiefs rider, Williamson,
became aware of the danger of
Manakau, who had streaked away.
Pistol Chief made up. his ground
until rn "a ' position to< challenge
Manakau a little more than a fur
log from-' the post. Thereafter
they had a great struggle.. Mana-
kau fought back gamely but Pistol
Chief just won.
The favorite, New Cashmere,
raced sourly throughout and at
no stage "raised the hopes o£ sup-
porters:. . " ,
NEW RECORD
New Zealand-owned - and Ade
aide-trained Sage King showed his
best form since he; reached Aus-
tralia in finishing full of running
to . defeat Draitsmah and Mile
End in the Anglesey Handicap.
Sage King, who is engaged jn
the Cups, ran tho nine furlongs
in 1.51%, which is only rne sec-
ond outside the Flemington re-
cord.;-'" ' - -,: '
Sage , King took charge enti*r
in. the straight and although chal-
lenged by Draftsman and Mile

man by two lengths, but the judge
called for the camera to decide

End and Queen's- Court and the
placing went to. Mile End. .
