Lop Ears Put Him Off
Mr George Jamieson, the elderly American who purchased Tulloch’s yearling half-sister for 7000gns last week, might have now owned Karina only for seeing her parade for a race at Ellerslie. Mr Jamieson came to New Zealand at the end of 1959 in search of a good mare for his Californian stud. Mr VV. L. Paterson, bloodstock manager of Wright, Stephenson and Company, Ltd., told him Karina might suit him, but Mr Jamieson “went cold” on the Idea when he saw the lop ears of Mr Trevor Knowles’s filly.
Mr Jamieson could have bought Karina for 5000gns before the Auckland Cup meeting last season, but then she won the Newmarket and Railway Handicaps at successive starts, and she could not be bought then for under five figures. A few months later Mr Jamieson bought Tulloch’s sire Khorassan, from Mr Seton Otway, owner of the Trelawney Stud, and he hopes to breed a threequarter brother to Tulloch from the filly he bought last week. Mr Jamieson was 80 when he bought Khorassan.
