PHARAOH'S GOOD BREEDING

Pharaoh, a member of J. T. Jamieson's team in Sydney, and who impressed the critics in the manner ot his success in the Sandringham Nursery Handicap at the A.J.C, Coronation Meeting on Wednesday, is-a two-year-old chestnut gelding by Chief Ruler from the Weathervane— Dame Winkle mare' Lady Pym, and .he is thus 'a' full-brother to First Consul, who won the W.A.T.C. Sires' Produce Stakes^ two years ago and has since been a good performer in Western Australia. He was. bred by Mr. J." J. McGrath at The Curragh Stud, Waikanae, and at the Trentham sales last year he was bought by J. T. Jamieson for 250 guineas on behalf of one of his patrons, Mr. J. Harris. . iThe Sydney report of his win mentions that he gives great promise of developing staying ability next season, and when one. irtudies his pedigree it is seen that this view is based on solid ground. Lady Pym was by Weathervane out of Dame Winkie, who was a half-sister by Winkie to Anitea, the , dam of Rapier, also to Nottava, the dam of Gesture and Miss. Nottava; land Dame Winkie's dam was famous Stepfeldt's daughter Stepka, dam of the Wellington Cup winner Pavlova and half-sister to Elevation. Provocation. Reputation, and to the grandam of Suggestion, Stanchion, Prostration, I etc. Lady Pym's latest foal is a bay L filly by Leighon who is said to be a particularly good looker.
