News of the filly’s latest win at Randwick last Saturday must have delighted her Californian owner, Mr George Jamieson, and has probably heightened American interest in the New Zealand thoroughbred.

Mr Jamieson promptly announced that the winner of the race would receive a free booking to Khorassan and the runner-up a free booking to Marco Polo IL Foumell won the race, for a winner’s purse of 3300gns and the booking to Khorassan, whose stud fee is 5000 dollars.

He was expected to arrive from the North Island this week. Avocat General, a 12-year-old son of the Two Thousand Guineas winner, Court Martial, is going to Waikaka and a stud owned by Mr W. L. Aynsley. Avocat General is a descendant of Cinna, and volumes can be written about the deeds of members of this family in New Zealand and elsewhere.
