QUEEN’S HORSE FOR N.Z.
Bellagioca To Go To Whangarei (From the London Correspondent of "The Press” I LONDON, November 12. The Queen’s home-bred, wellconnected two-year-old, Bellagioca, will leave Britain on November 19 in the Port Vindex, bound for Auckland and consigned to Mr Lyle Mortimore, of Whangarei. Bellagioca was bought at the Newmarket sales last month on behalf of Mr Mortimore by Mr Keith Freeman, of Norwich. Mr Mortimore previously imported the stallion Avocat General Bellagioca, which has been in training this season at Freemason Lodge under the Queen’s trainer, Captain C. C. Boyd-Rochfort, but which had little success on the track (a third place in a minor Newmarket event), is related on the dam’s side to Aureole, Parthis, and Alcide.
He is by Big Game out of Belladonna by Donatello 11.
