BRONZE EAGLE'S LINES
Bronze Eagle, wbo won .the Plunket Handicap at Trentham on Saturday, is not out of the New Zealand mare Tpifr'eda, as given in the Wellington" Eacitog's GluWcorrect catd, but is out of the Australian maro Torfrida, and is therefore not closely related to Ammonia', as the Torffeda breeding would have made him. - 'Bronze Eagle is by the Phalaris horse Brazen- from Torfrida (who was never trained), by imported Eudorus- (son of Forfarshirc) from Mary L. (three-quar-ter sister-in-blood to The Infanta, dam 'of Wolawa, who won'the'V.R.C. V Derby and both St.' Legers and' was Nsubse-' quently imported to New Zealand by, Irr^-.J. Watt,;where'he sired several winners 'iii'-Hawkes Bay), by 'Bobadil (son' ol! the St. Simon horse Bill of Portland) from The Union Jack, (halfsister to The Infanta), by The Admiral from The Heroine (sister to The Parisiennc, dam < Tho Parisian, winner of tho 'Melbourne and Australian Gups), by Trenton (son, of Musket). Torfrida is'bred "on similar lines to that great ■Australian galloper Eurythmic, both being by Eudorus from a mare by Bobadil. ' - '
