He is full brother to that well-known performer Crown Jewel, the winner of a very large number of races, including the" Wanganui Cup and Hawke’s Bay Cup ; also to Enchantress, winner of the Canterbury Oaks, and is also closely related to many of the bestknown winners of principal races on the New Zealand turf.
