YEARLINGS FOR AUSTRALIA

FOUR TO BE SHIPPED THIS WEEK Four yearlings from the Chelandry Stud are to be shipped to Australia by the Waitaki this week to join Mr W. T. Hazlett’s stables at Caulfield. All four youngsters have been put through the educational stages and in recent weeks have regularly been ridden out. They are: —Two geldings by Sir Simper from Louise and Dalzura respectively and two geldings by Colonel Cygnus from Lucky Light and Kindly Light respectively. All are well-grown youngsters and the first of Sir Simper’s stock will attract some attention.

Sir Simper, who proved himself a great racehorse in Australia, is now being freely used at the Chelandry Stud and the Grand Knight horse has much in his favour to make a name for himself as a sire. The oldest of his stock, now rising two years, have already come in for favourable comment.

Dalzura, Kindly Light and Lucky Light are all members of the successful line founded by the imported mare, Simper. Dalzura is by Chief Ruler from the Kilbroney mare, Dazzling Light, a daughter of Simper. Dazzling Light was a sister to Chief Ruler. Lucky Light is by Paper Money from Simper. Louise, the dam of Madam Pompadour and others, was got by Tractor from Moulin Rouge, the dam of Latin Quarter, Loretta, Frenchy and others. Moulin Rouge was by Kilbroney from a great producer in Directoire, whose list included Frenchman, Taramoa, Paris, Apache and so on. The yearlings have much in their favour on the score of blood and more than ordinary interest will be shown in their progress.
