HUNTING SONG DEAD
LEADING DOMINION SIRE HEADED LIST SIX TIMES PROGENY WON £200,000 Hunting Song, leading sire in the Dominion on six occasions and run-ner-up for another three years, met with an accident while running in the paddock at the Gaine Carrington Stud, Silverdale, yesterday, and had to be destroyed. Hunting Song, who was rising 22 years, was imported from England by the late Mr Gaine Carrington senr., and stood at the stud in Poverty Bay and Palmerston North, prior to coming to Hamilton in 1935. Perhaps the most prolific sire that the Dominion has seen his progeny have won in stakes approximately £200,000 during 12 years of racing, some of his best representatives including Gaine Carrington, Clarion Call, Pink Coat, Hunting Cry, Stretto, Huntique, El Meynell and Gallant Fox.
