NIGHTMARCH'S RECORD

NEARLY £30,000 IN STAKES

It has long been established that Mr. .Alfred Louisson made a lucky speculation when he bought Nightmarch for £1000 in the winter of 1929 at the close of the colt's *' two-year-old career, for in the interval • the son of Night Raid has won over £29,000 under his colours, and there is every x>romise that the amount will be substantially increased before the brown horse " quits the racecourse for the stud, says "Phaeton." Up to the present Night- '■■ march has contested 53 races, and his record stands as follows:— Un- Stakes , • Ist. 2nd. 3rd. placed. Won. £ t. At. 2 years .. *2 1 1 5 332 '■', At 3 years ..
