The thoroughbred imported ' STALLION, GOLD REEF, Will stand this season at PALMERSTON NORTH. GOLD REEF is a handsome brown horse, without a white mark, standing 16 hands, stoutly built, showing a lot of quality, and a horse with excellent bone, measuring 8J inches around the cannon bone. He has a grand constitution and a good temper' He has had several seasons racing, yet he has retired sound enough to stand another preparation if required. , , A . To students of breeding, a perusal of Gold Reel’s tabulated pedigree will prove him to be one of the stoutest bred horses in the English Stud Book. His sire (Bend Or), winner of the English Derby, was also sire of the unbeaten Ormonde, and his dam (Crucible), besides being a good performer, is also dam of those good racehorses Gold Seeker, Sorcerer, Goldfield, and Gold Leaf. Thus it will be seen that Gold Reef comes from an excellent running family, and, if given a chance with good mares, it is fair to assume that he will become a winner-producer. The following is Gold Reef’s tabulated pedigree:— Irish Birdcatcher Th* Baron Echidna > StoakvaU | Pocahontas § Orlando Q Teddmgton jjj 8s Twckenham Marigold * Sinter to Ratan 0 Singapore Dtr. of Melbourne ■ I. 1 I, I..I « Pantaloon M Windhound Phryne Thorraanby g Allee Muley Moloch « Hawthorne Rebecca ® 3x. -u Sandbeck ; I BU. a*— - Hon..

Defence g Diversion Poßy « Stockwell The Baron « Btockweu Pocahontas a, Camerino S Touchstone Sylphme Mountain Sylph Knight of Nut with % Pineapple Kara a Evergreen Orlando Pine Heresy As a racehorse on the English Turf, Gold Reef was considerably above the average, and won twelve races of the value of £2,473, including such important events as the Maiden Stakes of 150 sovs, 9.0, fourteen starters; The Match, at Newmarket, 9.3, defeating Fatherless, 7.7 ; the Bestwood Stakes, 500 sovs, 8.10; the Visitors Plate, 150 sovs, 8.10, eleven starters ; the Welter Stakes, 175 sovs, fifteen starters, carrying 8.12 (top weight); he ran second to Pannonia for the Commercial Stakes of 600 sovs, twelve starters; carrying 10.0, he ran second to Trionfl for the Stand Plate of 1,000 sovs, nine starters. It will thus be seen that Gold Reef, besides having proved himself a racehorse, has also b een a great weight-earner. GOLD BEEF will serve a limited number of mares. Thoroughbred mare 10 guineas; approved half-bred mares. 5 guineas. - Mares will be grazed at Mr Robert Stevens’ farm, Falmerrston North, one of the best and most sheltered properties in the Manawatu district.
