FILLY BOUGHT TO RAFFLE
- Cricketers’ Body’s ; Purchase
(New Zeatana Press Association) WELLINGTON, Jan. 20. An unusual buyer at the national yearling sales yesterday was the Hawke’s Bay Cricket Association, which now owns a brown filly by Sabaean from the Siegfried mare Lubeck. The agent for the association, which intends to raffle the filly, was Mr T. C. Lowry, a former New Zealand cricket captain, who is president of the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association. The price was 250 gns. The filly is to be paraded at race meetings in the Hawke’s Bay and Poverty Bay districts, and she will be in the care of Mr Lowry at his Okawa Stud until the raffle is completed. The cricket association’s pur- , chase is closely related to Prawns, which dead-heated with Almora in the Wellington Cup in 1951, and Eriskay, which won the Dunedin Centennial Cup.
