SILVER SCORN

<& “BETTER THAN DESERT GOLD’’ NO LACK OF VERSATILITY Recent deeds of Silver Scorn caused a stir in Australian racing circles and created a change of feeling as to her prospects when opposed to Australia’s best. Until her latest efforts in Dunedin m.d Christchurch, I was of opinion that Silver Scorn would have found the w.f.a. company too strong at the Melbourne and Sydney autumn meetings ('writes “Pilot” in the “Referee”). After the way she won the Dunedin Cup, one mile and a. half, and the Middle Park, six furlongs, at Christchurch, it would bo impossible to put anything beyond her. Riccarton is a. fast track at six furlongs, as shown by Chimera’s win on it with 9.2 in Imin 9 4-5 see. However. Silver Scorn put her performance in the shade by winning the Middle Park Plate in Imin 9 2-ssec., with 9.11, the time being an Australasian record. It. was a wonderful effort for a. thrcc-year-old filly carrying 211 b over weight-for-agc and it is no wonder some of her admirers now proclaim her “better than Desert G'old.” There is no lack of versatility about Silver Scorn—wins at a mile and a half one day, at seven furlongs a couple of days later and six furlongs the following week, leave no doubt on that score.
