PANAX STOUTLY BRED
Panax, now one of the favourites for the A.J.C. Epsom Handicap as a result of his second to The Marne in the Tramway Handicap at Tattersalls Meeting at his first outing this season, is a five-year-old chestnut gelding by the Melbourne Cup winner Backwood from Ash Queen, by Saltash from Winsome Sister, by Comedy King from Cross Battery, by Stepniak, tracing to Powder (7), by Blinkhoolie. The family is one of the most famous in Australia and has produced such celebrities as Arsenal, Alawa, Valicare, and Artilleryman, the lastnamed being a brother to Winsome Queen, grandam of Panax. Panax s fifth dam, Crossfire, who was by Goldsbrough from Powder, had the distinction of winning the Doncaster Handicap as a two-year-old, a feat that has only once been equalled. Panax won two races at the Australian Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting, the Vaucluse Handicap and Rous Handicap, both seven furlongs, and so evidently likes the course.
