BUYER FOR TE HERO
The brilliant but erratic Te Hero, who has been trained for some time past in Sydney, has been purchased by the Te Awamutu breeder and owner Mr. A. R, Kay, and will be returned to the Dominion. Te Hero is a fine-looking four-year-old by Heroic from Prodice, and he is to be retained by Mr. Kay for use as a sire at his private stud. However, it is possible that he may be tried again at racing, in spite of the fact that the stewards refused his nominations in Sydney owing to his waywardness at the barrier. Mr. Kay is well known as the owner of the highclass sprinter Suleiman. Prodice, dam of Te Hero, is a half-sister, by Catmint, to the Australian" Derby winner Ammon Ra.
