SOME SPEED

Richfield Leaves His Field There was a lot of talk the first day at Otaki about a horse called Richfield. " •/ A WHOLE heap of hard heads were ** getting ready to support him on a third he ran to Lady Quex ana Argue at Waverley. And the money was there when the tote closed. ''■■■* Served badly at the barrier rise—he jumped back — little or nothing was seen of Richfield until. the field turned for home. . , \. He was well back then, but he unwound a run that brought him up into fourth place. It was a great effort. A look through the book showed that he was m the Maiden 1 the next day, and, when he took his place punters '.were all but killed ■m" the rush.. - : ' j ■ • ' Once again Richfield failed to go away on,, terms, and with a furlong covered he was anything but nicely placed. ' ' ' „ Then his rider, got an opening,' and hf. was soon up with the leaders.. He had caught them as if they had been stopped for. him..He was bolting on the turn; and his rider was compelled to take a good hold of him to prevent his making an exhibition of the" rest.
