ST. SIMON MALE LINE
It seemed reasonable to anticipate that the St. Simon line in Australia would be strongly maintained by descendants of Comedy King (son of Persimmon) and Rossendale (son of St. Frusquin), but that does, not now appear probable, writes "Phaeton." In the published statistics for last season five sons of Comedy King figured among winning sires, namely, King of Mirth, King Ingoda, Kingbier, Comique, and Harvest King, but only in a minor way. King of Mirth and King Ingoda both died recently. Rampion is the only descendant of Rossendale who figured on the winning list. Winalot, who was by Rossendale, was viewed.as a horse likely to be a stud success, but unfortunately he met with a tragic death a couple of years ago.
