PROGENY OF SCAPA FLOW

I ENGLAND'S NEW CHAMPION Scapa Flow, who became championproducing mare of England last week when Highlander won a race at Nottingham, raising the total winnings ol her progeny to £83,390, was bred by Lord Derby in 1914 and raced without much success in his colours before being retired to the stud. She is a chestnut daughter of Chaucer from Anchora, by Love Wisely from Eryhome, by Hazlehatch, all of her ancestors mentioned being of the same colour as herself. Scapa Flow has produced eight winners, but her total has been contributed mainly by three, Fairway (no\y the leading sire in England), Pharos, and Fair Isle. As far as the records are available, the individual amounts won by her progeny arc as follow:--Fairway, £42,722; Pharos, £15,694; Fair Isle, £13,219; Spithead, £5641; Highlander, £3073: Fara, £1950; Pentland, £967 and Pharillon, £l6B. The former champion displaced by Scapa Flow was Galicia, who died in 1923 in her 26th year. A daughter of Galopin, she was bred by the late Mr. F. Cox. She had eight foals, of whom four were winners, but it is to Bayardo and Lemberg, who were bred in 1906 and 1907 respectively, that she owed her record of £83,324. The individual winnings of her successful foals were:—Bayardo, £44,534; Lemberg, £37,309: Eastern, £1696; and Kawang-Su, £285.
