Her performance, in winninjr under 9.2, or 181b above weight-for-age was undoubtedly one of tfie most remarkable efforts ever recorded in the history of the .New Zealand Turf, and few willnow.be found who would deny that she is at- least the equal of that other great filly, Desert Gold. .In -the race Silver Scorn seemed to Imeet interference^ from Mount Boa leaving the straight the first time, where ,Great Star- arid-Ruling Light were in charge from-Autopay. Then The Smuggler, took charge ;from Great Star and Princess Argosy, while Silver Scorn moved up gradually, being fourth- at tho far turn. Great Star was- done a little farther on, and Princess Argosy faded out early-iu. the straight, where Shatter was going 'very well after having tailed the field over the first mile Silver -Scorn came home full of> running : and_she beat .The Smuggler decisively haying: the race"ik.safe keeping a; long way from the post. Shatter finished well in- third place,' with Jaldux nest. ThenJ came Bed -Heckle, whose effort was spent, a. furlong-from the post. Princess Argosy and Great Star, both tiring, 'were next.
