Jamboree as
S.A, Prospect
By Heroic.
' Trainer Theo. Lewis will
V decide today about a
trip to Adelaide with Jam-
. boree for the City Handicap,
which is run at Victoria
Park next saturaay.
Jamboree has been pen
alised 3 lb., which makes his
weight 8.12— only 1 lb. more
than he carried to defeat
Purple Boy and By tact in
< the Southern Stakes at
Caulfield on Saturday.
Purple Boy was half a
length behind the winner,
but if jockey E. Preston had
shown better judgment the
result would probably have
been reversed.
Hard ridden ou t of the
barrier stalls, the gelding
then raced wide, and was
under the whip on the
home turn. '
It was only natural that
Purple Boy weakened and
was not af>le to hold off a
challenge from Jamboree.
The running of Burdindi,
r" who finished last, was the
subject of a stewards' in-
. quiry.
' Jockey G. Newton's ex
planation that Burdindi
would not put any heart into
.his work was accepted.
