AUSTRALIAN PURCHASES
The Trentham trainer H. B. Lorigan has received three of the yearlings which were sold at the Sydney Easter sales. They are at present being broken in (says the Evening Post), and will in due course be raced in the Dominion.
One of them is a chestnut filly by Excitement (son of Hurry On) from the Spelthorne mare Ritual, whose grandam (Queen Battery) was full sister to the Melbourne Cup winner Artilleryman, and she will be raced by Mr Quentin Donald, jun., the former All Black hooker. Another is a bay colt by Chatham (son of Windbag) from the imported Roi Herode mare, Gunhild, dam of Florida and the Australian Salt Spray, both winners of several races, and he will carry the colours of Mr J. Fearon, of Wellington, who has raced Twenty Grand this season. The third is a bay colt by Doric (son of Tracery) from the imported Somme Puss mare, Sister Vamp, thus being a full brother to Dromos, a good winner, and he has been sent over by J. T. Jamieson, though he will probably be resold here before racing.
