MODERATE PROVES BARGAIN
The Awapuni owner-trainer, B. Burgess will have no reason to regrct his decision to buy the veteran jumpei' Moderate back into his stable. At the January sale at Trentham; Burgess gave 'JUgns. for Moderate, a liorse he fornierly owned, and had trained for other owners, and his three starts since his re-purchase have resulted in a tliird over hurdles at Hawera and a win in a steeplechase at Otaki for stakes to the value of £225. Burgess couid have tiirned Moderate o\er last week at a prolit of 600 per eent., but he decided to retain the aged gehling. ,v , The crowd hfoderate beat at Otaki were anything but .Strong, but he did the soundlv, -and- a jumper of his aliility should not have umcli trouble in ivinning over stiffer eountry and agaiiist bettcr company. The cross eountry talent in the Wel-lin-gton district is weak tiiis seasou, and there is a good oppOrtunitv for any capable jumper who can stay and handie winter tracks.
