VICTORY TO ADMIRAL NELSON
LED ALL THE WAY IN DERBY

Starting at 7 to 4 on Admiral Nelson gave nothing else a chance in the Sydney Pacers'
. Derby at Harold Park today racing home with two lengths to spare from Western Walla,
with Frisco Robert six lengths away third.

nHE win gave Rokkjer his first win
in the race and completed the big
double for the veteran driver, who
recently won the Sapling Stakes with
The Gem.
Admiral Nelson has now won his
last three starts in brilliant fashion,
and it looks as though the youngster
has a bright future.
jumping away smartly, Rokkjer
was quickly to the front, and allow
ing his charge to run along
smoothly, showed the way to West
ern Walla, who had plenty of sup
porters at .five to one, and Bobby
Derby.
There was little change in the field
during " the middle distance of the
race, Admiral Nelson leading nicely
from Western Walla, Frisco Robert,
Robert Innis, Bobby Derby, and
Charming Robert.
The latter was the only unhoppled
runner.
Turning into the straight the last
time, the order was much the same,
and although Western Walla came
home .strongly he was not able to
make the slightest impression on the
leader.
Real Star raced unkindly through
out, and Little Briton, after being pro
minent in the early stages, finished
well back in the field.
