Scorcher Breaks Down and Kalgoorlie Cup Race Notes
Scorcher, engaged in the two Cups, broke down and died recently in India. Prophecy may go to Victoria for the Sher Canlfiel Cup. Shrapnel’s time at the Grand National Hurdle Race in New Zealand is linked to freezing conditions. Hurry-Up won at Boulder, and Bellis, a former two-time Grand National Steeplechase winner, has been destroyed after a stifle fracture. Kalgoorlie Cup day drew a large crowd with Flora Mac winning at 12 to 1, Mariner second, Prophecy third. Flora Mac’s owner donated £50 to the Eastern Goldfield Fresh Air League. Flora Mac’s gradual improvement with age is noted, with a record of wins across seasons.
