Hi All,
More from the Mail

Wed, May 11th 1887
Mr Thomas Thorne, of Goroke, was most successful at the Portland races,
run on Thursday and Friday last. On the first day he carried off the
selling
race, and on the second day Archduke won the Ladies Bracelet with
exchange third.

Dick Swiveller, the 2-year-old horse belonging to Messrs. Husband and
Nicholls,
of Dimboola, made a name for himself on Saturday at Caulfield, where he won
the
2-year-old stakes. The horse was considered a rank outsider, and started at
very
long odds, so that doubtless some of our local backers have won a little
over the
event. The trainer of the winner, who we are informed, is Mr. A. Reed, of
Horsham,
deserves great praise for the excellent form in which the horse went to the
post.

Regards,
Daryl
