THE ACCEPTANCES,

NEW SIRE FOR OKAWA t PURCHASE OF TIDERACE

Particulars of Lie stalliou recently purchased by Mr T. H. Lowry in England havo conic to hand. The new siro is tho four-year-old Tiderace, by Fair- • way from Panic, by nurry On from Volcanic. Tiderace started twice, unplaced, as a two-ycar-old and last year he was produced ten times, winning the Column Produce Stakes, for three-yeilr-olds, one mile, at tho Newmarket April meeting. The value of this race to the winner was £746. Tiderace was placed in two other races. He comes from the same family as Psychology, another of Mr Lowry’s imported sires. The great success of Fairway, who went to the stud only in 1931, and whose progeny up to the end of the Ascot meeting in June had won 50 races, valued at £62,724, will. make Tiderace a welcome addition to tho rapidlygrowing list of English-bred sires in the Dominion.

Bengal Lancer was 1500. guineas., This is a substantial figure for a maiden performer. RACING FIXTURES. August 11, 13, 15—Canterbury J.C.
