JUVENILE WINNER
BRIGHT WINGS AT TE RAPA Bright Wings, who broke tne Beau Pere sequence at last by defeating Arvakur at the Waikato meeting on Saturday, and then followed up the success by completing the two-year-old double on the concluding day yesterday, had raced only once previously. That was in the Musket Stakes at Ellerslie last month, won by Arvakur, and in which she was prominent till the final furlong. Bright Wings is aristocratically bred, and excellently named. A chestnut filly, she is by the Valais horse Vaals out of the Limond—Waterwings mare White Wings, a full-sister to Agrion and Waikare. The progeny of Waterwings have always been keenly sought after at the National Sales, and two of them, Zetes and Waikare, brought top price in their year. It is the same family as that to which the brilliant two-year-old Mermin belonged. White Wings, who proved a serviceable galloper herself, was purchased as a yearling for 725 guineas by Mr. W. Scholium, of Auckland, who bred and is racing her daughter.
