rjiO STAND THIS mmi Stoney River and Oco, returning via Kaponga and Eltham Road, The Thoroughbred Sire, Fantastic. FANTASTIC was foaled in 1888, and is highly fashionable, being by the best blood on both sides, and has proved himself a sure foal getter.

Miss Flat is the dam of a numerous family, the greatest of whom was the renowned Welcome Jack, one of the greatest race horses ever bred in New Zealand Fantastic is a beautiful bay, standing 17 hands high, possessing great bone substance, and symmetry. His sire, Apremont, came out at the top of winning sires in the season of 1882, beating no less than 186 other sires. The placing at disposal of the breeders of the above districts the services of such a well-bred animal as Fantastic is an opportunity that should not be missed by those who desire to obtain good stock.
