“DUDS” AND CRACKS
It was a somewhat peculiar fact that both Rapine and Joy King are full brothers to horses that carried Mr. A. B. Williams' colours, who were not in the same category as regards performances whon compared with them. These “duds” were Mimetic, the full brother to Joy King, and Penitent the brother to Rapine. Penitent was a dud of the worst sort. As a yearling he was purchased by Mr. Williams for 1150gns, while Rapine was bought as a yearling for 450gns. Pineta, who produced Penitent and Rapine, is a daughter of Spearmint (son of Carbine) and Pintade, by Persimmon—Guinea Hen, by Gallinule (sire of Desert Gold). Joy King, who was purchased in Sydney by Trainer J. H. Jefferd, on account of Mr. A. B. Williams, brought I,ooogns, whereas Mimetic cost 2,ooogns.
