SEAHORSE (9)
As every racing man knows, Nelson was a sterling horse, and Seahorse is his best son. King Cole never got a better than Nelson. King Monmouth, son of King- Lud, a brother to King Cole, was in his time voted the best handicap horse in England. Major George could have sold Seahorse before he won the New Zealand Cup, Canterbury Cup and Canterbury Derby for a tidy sura, and it was said could have had 3000 guineas for his colt afterwards. At 2000 guineas, taking into account that he may take time to recover his form, or may never get back to it again, is a substantial price. Major George, however, thinks that his favourite will prove a good investment and a good advertisement for New Zealand. A Christchurch Press Association wire announces that Strathnairn has been scratched for the New Zealand Grand National Hurdles Handicap.
