RACE BOY'S USEFUL FORM

Kace Boy, who ■ accounted for a double at the Combined Hunts Meeting last week in most promising style, had only once previously faced the barrier, at the Foxton Meeting in May, when he was unplaced, so very little was known about him to the rank and file of investors when he stepped out for his first win, particularly as he is trained on a track which is not reported. A stablemate of Gold Mission's, Race Boy carries the colours of his trainer, G. A. Reid, of Waverley, who holds him on lease from the estate of his breeder, the late Mr. E. Parsons. He is a five-year-old brown gelding by the Martian horse Raceful from the All Red-r-Peroneal mare Cochineal, a half-sister to Eurella (dam of Golden Horn, etc.) and Standard, a good sprinter a decade or so back. Cochineal herself won a number of small races, and Peroneal was a useful performer, her wins including the C.J.C. Metropolitan, Marlborough, and Nelson Cups, etc. Peronilla, a full-sister to Peroneal, was winner of such races as C.J.C. Welcome Stakes, Feilding Stakes, etc., and at the stud she left some excellent horses, including Boadicea, Kilperon, Frenzied Finance (dam of Miladi), First Money (winner of the V.A.T.C. Oakleigh Plate), etc. This is the same family as further back left the New Zealand Cup winner Sinapis. ■ ',
