END OF POLAZEL.
Stallion Found Dead in His Box. Sir Charles Clifford has suffered a loss at the Stonyhurst Stud, the stallion, Polazel, being found dead in his box one morning, early this week. Polazel was foaled in 1921, so that he was a young horse. He was by Polymelus from Ardazel, by John o’ Gaunt (son of Isinglass and La Fleche, by St Simon) from Ardrogovena, by Florizel 11. (son of St Simon) from Ardmore, by Gallinule. He did ndt do much racing during three seasons, and though he was placed on a number of occasions, he won only three races. Strangely enough, his successes were all scored in one event, the Amateur Cup, a two mile handicap, at the Bibury Club meeting held at Salisbury. He won it as a three-yar-old and repeated the result at four and five years. The early part of his stud career was spent at the stud of the latj Mr A. F. Roberts, where he was overshadowed by Night Raid, so that he did not have much of a chance. When the stud was dispersed last Easter, he was purchased by Sir Charles Clifford and he received a fair opportunity this season, for the first time, as he was mated with a number of the Stonyhurst matrons, in addition to several visiting mares.
