MAYPAY IN UNITED STATES

FOAL TO PHALERON BAY AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT

Advice has been received by Mr. C. E. Robertson, of Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., bloodstocK agents, that the Paper Money mare Maypay had foaled a brown colt on May 1 to Phaleron Bay. Maypay L at present in the United States but it was the intention to have her shipped to England almost immediately. Maypay was selected in New Zealand by the late Captain Crawford, agent for the British Bloodstock Agency, on account of the fact that her dam, Trebelli 11, was a Thrush mare, and Captain Crawford purchased her from Mr. J. J. Corry, of Blenheim, with Lord Warden a colt foal at foot. That colt was reared at tiic Grange Stud, Westmere, where Maypay was sent to be mated to English time to the Phalaris horse Phalerun Bay, which Captain Crawford himself selected as the most suitable sire to suit this cross. Maypay was then shipped to the United States, to be mated next, after the foal arrived, witn a son of the famous Black Tony. This programme has been carried out and the mare, witth the Phaleron Bay colt, will cross the Atlantic to go to the stud in the homeland of her darn. The Lord Warden colt was submitted at Trentham on behalf of the estate of the late Captain Crawford and was purchased at 400gns. by J. T. Jamieson on behalf of Mr. J. Roies, of Sydney. As Maypay is a full-sister to Autopay, now doing duty at the stud in the Auckland district, it will be interesting to note how she and her progeny fare in their different spheres
