Johanie Jason, winner of the Warwick Stakes, woight-for-age, one mile, in Sydney last Saturday, is a three-year-old brown geldiiiij by imported Tfeclare (sire also of Tregilla, winner of the A.J.C. Derby last year), from Sweet Rosaleen. Treclare is by Troderinis (son of Kendal and grandson of Bond Or) from Clare, by Desmond (son of St. Simon) from Sheila,_ who traces to Camb'uscan, Oxford, and Rosicrueian.' Sweet Rosal.een, the dame of Johnnie Jason, was bred in New South Wales, and is by imported Varco (son of Marco) from • Miss Bass, by Malster (son of Bill of Portland). Sweet Rosateen was a good winner and in her year was second in the A.J.C. Sires' Produce Stakes. She is a full sister to Valdumo, c useful performer in the South Island eomo years ago, Johnnie Jason is owned by Mr. W. J. Joneii, who bought him at the 1930 Sydney 6ales for 120 guineas. Last season, as a two-year-old, he was raced on eight occasions, being only twice unplaced. His first success was in the Juvenile Stakes, six furlongs, at Rosehill in March, at his fourth start. Then he ran third in a division of the Fa irfield Handicap, six furlongs, at Warwick Farm, and, going on to the A.J.C. Easter Meeting, was twice second and once a winner in three starts. He was beaten only by Ammon Ra in the A.«-o."Sires' Produce Stakes, seven furlongs, und only by Burwood in a division of the Easier Stakes,, seven furlongs. On the final day, at his last start for the 6eason, he scored a decisive win in a division of the Fernhill Handicap, seven furlongs, and- his superiority in the divisions was indicated by the fact that Golden Gate, who won the other division, had followed him home in the earlier races at the meeting. Cypress was second. Clude third and Veiimoncl fourth in last Saturday s race. Johnnie Jason's success is sure to bring him nearer to Ammon Ru in favouritism for the A.J.C. Derby.
