N.Z. link with cup winner
By J. J. BOYLE Lord Porchester, the Queen’s racing manager, is also owner of one of the stars of this year’s Royal Ascot meeting. His home-bred Little Wolf was a popular and easy winner of the Ascot Gold Cup. It was a victory to capture more than academic interest in New Zealand: Little Wolfs halfbrother, Smuggler, was im-
ported by Mr Jack Lindsay for the Balcarres Stud at Matamata after winning seven races up to two miles, including the Yorkshire Cup, in England. Lord Porchester had a very special reason for wanting to win that Ascot Gold Cup. The Timeform annual for 1982 took him to task for not running Smuggler in a Gold Cup — and "accused” him of saying that “it de-
values a horse even to enter him in the race.” Smuggler is by Exbury, Little Wolf is by Grundy. The dam, Hiding Place, is a half-sister by Doutelle to Brigadier Gerard’s sire, Queen’s Hussar. From her 10 foals to race, Hiding Place has now produced nine winners. Her dam, Jojo (by Vilmorin), was equally successful as a producer.
