LORi) MOSS’ GUINEAS r Beats Field Pointlessly Matamata-trained and Puketu-rua-owned Lord Moss beat the brilliant Gold Script by four lengths ttnd easily in the Great Northern Guineas on Saturday. Three other horses', considered good three-year-olds were down the course. Lord Moss has now won at five of his six starts. Kindergarten lost the first race he Started J», a ~ hack race at Paeroa, and so ■ did Lord Moss, a nursery, handicap at Rotorua. Will Lord Moss emulate the deeds of the former champion? Lortf Moss *is a 3-year brown colt by the defunct Lord Bobs from Vaalsmoss'J-owned by Allan Pearce and trained by T. Moore. His first start was it Rotorua where he spoilt a winning chance by running ■Wide. He then won the Sapling Stakes at Avondale, these being his only essays as a baby. .■ This season, which is only two and a half months gone, he commenced With a win at Avondale, followed • With another at the next meeting on , the same- course, and then beat a " good field of open sprinters at Te Aroha. His win of the Guineas was dene in - a race record time on a track which was cutting out. What time Lord Moss could have done or Just how good he is is something that will provide a topic of conversation among racegoers until Derby ' Day. Bred by his owner, his pedigree is good enought for anything. He is a first foal from .a mare by Vaals from Hunting Moss, by Hunting Song, thence going back through Edith Cureton to CastorFrailty, and to Flora Mclvor.
