Etterfred won by a length and a half in 1:41 and was at 14 to 1 in the betting.

Janek up. the son of St. Frusquin and La Sage winning easily by a length and a half from five others, of which Proba was second and Favolas third. The race was worth 5,025 and odds of 5 to 3 were laid on the winner in the totalisator. The totalisator contractors at Avondale are reported to have made a heavy loss on the Hack Welter Handicap, when, through an error, Dancas-ters dividend was posted as considerably more than he should have returned. Before the mistake was discovered the dividends had been distributed on 151 pound tickets and 179 ten shilling tickets. On pound tickets the excess was a pound and three shillings. Sydney Referee.
