"Glen Leigh and Bill Bigs have done well in Sydney with the show," said Garry.
"It's lucky they got some of my horses. He seems to have picked out the right sort."
"Trust him for that. The fellow they call The Savage is a ripper. He's by old Tear'em, I'll swear. I never saw such a brute, but Leigh mastered him as soon as he was yarded."
"Everybody seems to think he's a wonderful man," said Craig.
"So he is. They're few and far between," answered Garry. "I see your horses are doing good work for the Cups. Do you fancy them?"
"Barellan and Flash both have chances."
"I've got a couple of tickets in the sweep on the Melbourne Cup," said Garry.
"If you draw Barellan I shall expect you to stump up a good round sum out of your lot," Bellshaw told him.
"You'll get nothing out of me if I draw him, but it's about a million to one I don't," retorted Garry.
"Whoever draws him will have to give me a cut out of the sweep or they'll stand a poor chance of getting a run for their money," said Craig.
