Australian Wonder Set Up Weight Record In Recent Caulfield Race

Sydney, Mar. 3.

Ajax, Australia's wonder horse, claimed to be worth £50,000, has now won sixteen races in succession and threatens to displace Don Bradman as public idol number

one.

Never in the history of racing at Caulfield had there been such a tumultuous and prolonged demonstration as that which grected Ajax, as he returned to the weighing enclosure, after winning the Caulfield Futurity Stakes with a record weight for a 4-year-old of 10st 6lb. His per- formance was the more striking because the race was run in pouring rain with mud fetlock 'deep.

Ajax won the St. George Stakes at Caulfield the previous Saturday,

His win in the 7 furlongs Futurity Stukes was his sixteenth successive his owners make no victory, and secret of the fact that Ajax is out to break the Australasian record held by Glouring and Desert Gold of 19 successive wins.
