PERTOBE. is a beautiful dapple brown •Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H; Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr<s (imported) ; . Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, iy Wanderer (imported).—See Victorian Stud Book, Vol. IL, p. 47. Panio was imported from England-to Tasmania, and pufc to tho stud at 3 yrs. old'. He was trained and raced at : 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, .he was purchased at a high, price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training md racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia, lie ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both "speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his siro, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, ''he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Victoria, and for general purposes his Btock is much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, in that famous line through Defence, and ;hich comes to him on the sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison; tho : powerful and speedy• Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. *' Tho value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, not alone as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its ' training on,'and being essentially a ' running strain for although somo others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. _ A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Coppferthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On tho Bide of the dam of Peiitobe there i 3 a lot of good blood coming in through The Premier, whoso graudsirc, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan maro (the dam of tho mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprS blood is also very good incloed, DelaprtS'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of Pek.tobe, was by Wanderer,-and Wanderer's blood in good, he being by Wanderer, by Gokanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, so much is tho Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient. .PERTOBE, by © O cr i W <3 3 g* era pr <n P-2 o ► S ff cd a - •< era - p t>sr. .q'n.i-a »-n O 0 CD J° P S cr* 5 CP - OS <5 OQ ° trtw 3"^ hOc o i-wa < 3 *-■2, So o t p "Augur," in the Australasian, June Jsth IS7B, says " I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Panic," and his de«. cendants. As a sire of good, sound, and useful stock he has never had. an equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory in the Launceston Champion Race, and tho style in which ho carried 10at. into second place in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tho most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stook hag become a proverb on the Australian Turf, and the ancient Strop who .won a race at Launceston in February, is a living example. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present performing at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Loue Hand, and he is also a son of Panic. Postboy, Postman, Prodigious, and many other good cross country horses, too numerous to men* tion, are also descendants of tho Bon of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, IS3O.
