TOHUNGA AND ARIKI
Tohunga, one of the three purchases made by Sir Joseph B. Robinson, of Cape Town, at the New Zealand National Sales last year, is said to be the most promising two-year-old of the trio. He was to have made his debut at the S.A.T.C. Meeting at Milnerton in March, and there was disappointment when he was not produced. Tohunga, given a Maori name, as with Sir Joseph's previous yearling purchases in the Dominion, is a bay colt by the Son-in-Law horse Posterity, and he is out of Impetuous, by Limond. Ariki, purchased at the same time as Tohunga, is an exceptionally big colt, standing well over 17 hands: By Hunting Song (son of Hurry On) out of the Polydamon mare Crisis, thus a brother to False Scent and a halfbrother to Golden Blonde, he is not likely to race before -the end of the year.
