Nuffield Reformed Nuffield, like a number of the horses sired by Heroic, is something of an outlaw in his own particular way, his hobby being the demolition of his boxes. The Melbourne trainer J. Holt is hopeful that his brilliant charge, now a four-year-old, will stand a preparation for spring racing as so far he has not been over fractious and is getting through daily tasks without any trouble. Nuffield raced well as a two-year- i old, his five successes including the V.R.C. and A.J.C. Sires’ Produce j Stakes, and his earnings for the season amounted to £7460. In the next season he won the A.J.C. and V.R.C. Derbies and the Caulfield Guineas, but failed in the Melbourne Cup and C. F. Orr Stakes. His earnings were £B4OO, making a grand total of £16,860. Last spring Nuffield did a light season at the stud and was sent to i Sydney in the autumn, but he proved so fractious that ideas of racing him I had to be abandoned. According to the latest reports, I Nuffield has developed nicely since he last raced, and if he stands up to the work he will add to the strength of the weight-for-age division. |
