RAZOR'S FIRST SUCCESS
Razor, who beat the better-known •horses in the Taranaki Hunt Club Cup at New Plymouth last Saturday, is a ten-year-old brown gelding by Quarantine (a son of Treadmill and sire of the Wellington Steeples winner Omeo) from a mare by Westmere (a son of the Musket horse Escutcheon). There is thus a doubling of Musket in the pedigree, as Treadmill's dam (Catherine Wheel) was a granddaughter of Musket. ■ Razor, although his name docs not often appear in nomination lists, has had occasional racing since he was three years old, but the only times in which be had previously finished in the money was when he was six years old. In that season lie ran second in. a maiden hunters event at the Taranaki Hunt Meeting, beaten a head by Lady June, and third in a hunters' flat on the same clay and also in a hack hurdles at Stratford at the New Year. He did not race at all last season. He is owned by Mr. R. G. Foreman, of Wnitara/ who hn«, hunted him since he was a three-year-old.
