ST, SIMON BLOOD STOUT LINES OF HUSKIE BRED TO BE A JUMPER Huskie, who won the Te Rapa Steeplechase at tlio Waikato meeting Inst Saturday and is now one of the favourites for the Great Northern Steeplechase, is a rare stayer who has previously proved his ability both over hurdles and on tho flat. Since taking to * cross-country racing he has been handled very carefully at his fences, so that he should have every opportunity of gaining complete confidence before being set on more serious jobs. Huskie is bred to be a jumper, particularly on his maternal side. An eight-year-old chestnut, he is one of the few offspring of the imported Willon.vx horse, Snow King, to have raced. Willonyx, Snow King's sire, was a grandson of . St. Simon; and Snowflight, his dam, was by Cyllene out of St. Donats, by St. Simon out of Agnes Court, by Hampton. The St. Simon blood is strongly returned through Huskie's dam, Sag, who was by that noted sire of jumpers, Day Comet, a son of the St. Simon horse St. Frusquin, out of Lagg, who was by General Latour, a son of Soult, another St. Simon horse. The distaff line traces back to tho famous Juliet through the Waiorongomai branch, which nas given the Dotpinion's Turf such recent useful horses as Mungatoon, Reipar, Johnny Walls, Lagoon, Land Raid, Mungaere and Transformer. Lagg, the grand-dam, was dam also of Lagoon. Huskie is raced bv his breeder, Mr. P. Corbett. and he is trained at Matamata bv It. J. Mateer-. Last winter lie was "second in the Great Northern Hurdles, and on a trip down to Trentham he ran fourth in the Parliamentary Handicap and was sent out favourite for the Winter Hurdles, in which he failed.
