H. L. JAMES, 29au Secretary. The Season ELDERSLIE, The Thoroughbred Sire WINKIE (imp). Winkio was one of the heaviest-engaged three-year-olds in England in 1915. and it is certain that, but for tho war, ho never would have come to New Zealand. He was got "by William the Third, one of the very best racehorses and sires left by the Great St. Simon, who got winners of over £554,000 during 1889 and 1912, proving himself the greatest eiro known. In their first eight seasons on the turf William the Third's stock won -over £102,329, and he is the sire of Willony (standing at 300 gs), Nassau, Roseland, King William, Trois Temps, Nassovian, and other good performers.

He belongs to the No. 1 family, which produced such great horses as Lord Lyon, Minting, Neil Gow, Prince Palantine, Robert the Devil, Spearmint, Swynford, Chela.idry, Ladas, and in all the largest number of classic winners in the Stud Book. Winkio comes in direct female line from the groat Penelope, the clam of Whalebone and Whisker, and it is quite safe to say no other mare in the English Stud Book has given more numerous or more continuously successful descendants on cither the turf or at the stud. Winkle's sister Winkipop won over £12,000 in stakes, and his brother Pilliewinkie, out of six starts, won the Triennial Produce Stakes at Newmarket and the Ascot Derby, beating good horses on both occasions.
