BRONZE HAWK

NOT IN BIG EVENTS. Having won the Hobartville Stakes and Rosehill Guineas, in both of which races he defeated the early Derby favourite, Kuvera, Bronze Hawk is now regarded as the best of this season’s three-year-olds owned in Sydney. It seems as though Bronze Hawk has in some way disconcerted his party, writes “Phaeton” in the “Auckland HeraM.” When bought as a yearling in the autumn of lASI for 600 guineas he was described as one of the most impressive colts sent to auction. He was subsequently added to the list of geldings, which ruled him out of the A.J.C. and V.R.C. Derbies and Legers, and, as he was not entered for any of the important spring handicaps, it would appear that he did not show much promise. However, Bronze Hawk figures in one important classic race in which geldings are allowed to compete, namely, the Caulfield Guineas of £3OOO, to be run on October 8. Bronze Hawk’s pedigree is so extensively studded with illustrious names as to invest it with marked interest. On the dam’s side there are no fewer thap three strains of Musket, two through Carbine and one through Trenton. The leading lines in the pedigree are as follows:— Sire: Brazen, by Phalaris, son of Polymelus and grandson of Qyllene, from South Wales, by LBangibby, son of Wildfowler, from Southern Belle, by Ayrshire, son of Hampton, from Violin, by Isinglass, son of Isonomy, from String Band, by Barcaldine, son of Solon. Dam: Lero, by Cyklon, son' of Spearmint and grandson of Carbine, from Lesbos, by The Welkin, son of Flying Fox, from Cleis, by Wallace, son of Carbine, from Wiget mar, by Bill of Portland, son of St. Simon, from Etra Weenie, by Trenton son of Musket.
