LIMOND'S PROGENY.

SOME FINE GALLOPERS,

Watching Veilmond at work on the track at Randwick the other morning (says a Sydney writer) he would not be suspected as a horse of moods or capable of such an indifferent performance as that in the Warwick Stakes on August 29. For a stallion he is a kind and generous worker at any pace: He is well-mannered to a degree, and is just as tractable restricted to trotting and cantering as when flat out. A change of workmates makes no difference to the son of Limond. More than one of the Limond horses have been temperamental, and in each instance they have been gallopers above the ordinary. Veilmond more than once has shown signs of little peculiarities, in public, and certainly does not relish racing in a field. • Limerick, although a docile enough gelding, in his later years, was a highly-strung youngster, and for 'many seasons did not have a real spell owing to his abundance of energy. It was not safe to leave him in a paddock. ..." Commendation showed- hts vagaries more than once, yet possessed undoubted pace in races in Sydney and at home. Cypress, the latest son of Limond to come to Sydney, is a possessor of the family trait. Although it has been discovered that a raw wound on the inside of his mouth l?as been the primary cause of his waywardness, he has also a nund of his own However, he went much more kindly on the track at the end of last week and again this week, while his behaviour in hi 6 race on Saturday was exemplary. Amnion Ka. so fax* has not been tru6 to this tvpe. He is a solid and even tempered individual both on the track and in races. He has developed into a dainty feeder, his only idiosyncrasy to date.
