Australian J C Spring Meeting Recap Despite Weather
The Australian Jockey Club enjoyed fine weather at its Spring meeting but attendance fell short of last year’s total. Rivoli shone in the Craven Plate, Randwick Plate, and four-day events with notable performances by David and Rapine, while NZ and Victoria contributions highlighted the meet. Despite reduced crowds, betting margins favored bookmakers slightly, and total purses approached record levels with Derby and Metropolitan races drawing strong fields.

Rivoli Triumphs in Craven Plate at Randwick
Rivoli, the great gelding trained by J. Hy Barnes, clinched the Craven Plate at Randwick in a stirring performance, outstaying David by a length at two miles under weight-for-age conditions. The Spring meeting highlighted Rivoli’s speed and stamina, with praise from racing circles and discussions of potential showings against Whittier and The Cypher next season.

Snaeratande feivell racing summary with odd wording
A garbled report references Rivoli and Balngae with two year handicaps and multiple incomplete names and numbers. It notes a New Zealand context, various riders and horses, and sparse results with few clear outcomes.
Final day at Randwick features Comptroller win
On Randwick final day Comptroller clipped the course record in the Waverley Handicap earning race fame. The meeting produced exciting steeplechase action with Mumblebone's Gertainly Samy Son pushing to the fence and a strong field including Polytypean Dorado and Urgency. Betting for the day saw losses for a top bookmaker who exited after a costly Pittaworth punt, while Comptroller's victory over Hi Dorado capped a dramatic program and left Randwick noting great finish and uncertain Cup hopes.
