AT MOOREFIELD

PUFF SPRINGS „ SURPRISE

(From "Vedette,") SYDNEY, 22nd January, The six-year-old . Tractor—Thistledown mare. Puff staged a complete reversal of form in the principal race at Moorefield on Saturday. A week earlier at Canterbury Park, she had been well beaten in a nine-furlong welter. On Saturday she was in the market at double figure odds,: ftnd over the last furlong she and the Greenwood cast-off Philippic, were the only ones in. the race. She beat a much better field, and jt was a big ■ improvement in ■■form. Such is the general apathy in racing that no one expressed even mild surprise- Philippic was again second: at Menangle on Tuesday. '.-,.■'■ •-.■>' • -.'■..,.; '. - Geinlight was a fancied candidate, but lie failed to get into a prominent position at any stage. ' ' ' • '' ;' ' . ' P. Kiddle brought off another good win with the smart Legionnaire colt Legislator. He took him away to a suburban course earlier- in the week for a quiet trial, and told an inquiring pressman that it was Scotney, Scotney, however, worked at Kandwick on the same, morning. A little inquiry soon established* the fact that tlie travelling Scotney was Legislator. The added publicity did not spoil the Mbprefield price, however, for Legislator was in the market at good odds due to .solid backing for Cabaret Boy. Legislator was drawn wide out, and had to race right round his field on the small course. Under the circumstances it was a smart effort. Financial, the Paper Money—Rebekah ally made hacks of her-opponents, despite her 8.12 in her engagement. She was early vn front, and won as she liked. She is in *he top class of juveniles.1
