LEOLANTIS is a chestnut horse, ten years old, stands about 16 hands 1 inch, and is strongly built in every way and possessed of great muscular power. As a three-year-old Leolantis easily won the Auckland Guineas of 1890, of 150 sovs, one mile, in 1.474; and the same day, one race afterwards, in the Prince of Wales Handicap, one mile and a half, carrying 7st 91b, was just beaten by Cissy, Bst . 111 b (sister to Trenton), in 2.435. In December of the same year, carrying Bst 91b, he ran a close third in the Auckland Railway Handicap ; time, 1.16. The same day he won the Christmas Handicap of 100 sovs, one mile and a quaiter, carrying Bst3lb (as a three-year-old) and beating six others; time, 2.12. Next day Leolantis ran third . in the Auckland Derby, and was only raced once after that, through meeting with a mishap. However, Leolantis, during the time he was on the turf, proved that he could gallop. This is not to be wondered at when his excellent breeding is taken into consideration. A glance at the following Table will quickly disclose that he comes from a splendid family Stockwell The Baron Irish Birdcatcher won 2000 gs won St. Leger Echidna and S St. Leger Pocahontas Glencoe (g Marpessa . os — g< O Orlando Touchstone .9 Vulture ® el L’dy of Silverg keldWell Velocipede «Emma o H.

By Leolinus (a grandson of Stockwell), who is the sire of Tit, Radames, Leorina, Tressec, Satyr, St Innes (Dunedin Cup winner), British Lion (New Zealand Cup winner'), Leopold (Auckland Cup winner), from Atlantis, the-dam of St Leger (champion sire of New Zealand), it will be seen that Leolantis comes from a roost successful strain of blood. The stock sired by him are big, strong, and active colts. His oldest get s are four-year-olds, an d one of them, Atlantic, won hurdles races at Avondale, Takapuna, and the Hurdles and a flat race at the late Gisborne meeting. Atlantic and Leo (who broke his leg) are the only horses sired by Leolantis that have been tried. However, being half-brother to such a stud success as St Leger should ■ alone be sufficient recommendation for Leolantis. and, together with his size and substance, he should prove invaluable to bi eeders for getting racehorses, cross-country horses, hunters, and a good style of camage or hackney horse.
