Seaton Delaval won as a two-year-old, as a three-year-old, and ad a four year-old, and quitted the Turf in 1894, as a five-year-old, sound in wind and limb. For quality and beauty of outline it would indeed be difficult to match him, and he ought to be a most successful stallion. ’lhe more noteworthy of the many triumphs were winning the Great Northern Handicap of £5OO at York, distance one’mile and three-quarters, and the Great Northumberland Plate, of £l f| o'J at Newcastle, two miles, and in this race he beat the winners of the Chester Cup, of the Manchester Cup, and of the City and Suburban. He also ran second in the Great Metropolitan Stake at Epsom, two miles and a-quarter; only beaten a head; and in that race had behind him the winners of the Great Yorkshire Handicap, of the Goodwood Stakes, and of the Northamptonshire Stakes. The London “ Sportsman”, of December 19, 1894, writes as follows As a ■on of the very successful sire Melton, a good-looking, sound horse, and a rare stayer, Seaton Delaval is pretty sure to make his mark at the stud, and, indeed, it is a long time since so good a horse was sent to New Zea- •-- Melton was sold some years back to the Italian Government for £lO,OOO, and English breeders have ever ■ince been regretting that he was allowed to leave the country, as his his stock has been uniformly successful. Owing to his being abroad, there were no two-year-olds to represent him in 1894, but in reviewing the racing season of that year, the London “ Times ” of December 14 last says:-**Melton, with twenty-three winners of over £lB,OOO, should be given precedence over Wisdom, for Best Man, who won eight races, is undoubtedly his son, and as Melton’s progeny have won £25,000 in the last two seasons, and have included such animals as Best Man, Avington, BuUingdon and Indian Queen it is easy to understand the regret felt at his being exported to Italy.” So greatly has this regret been felt that Melton has ’ since been re-imported into England, and he had a foil eubscrtption of mares for 1901 at £4OO service for each. This is owing to the remarkable and uniform success of his first crop of two-year-olds sired since his re-importa • taon that were running in 1900. Eight of them won no less than £12,857 in stakes, and of these .more than one was unlucky in being badly ridden in races they other wise would have won. Two of these two-year-olds, Toddington and Princess Melton, were sold privately for £25,000, and later in the year the remaining six, not thought to be as good, were sold bv auction for £12,852 mt king in all £87,852 for eight two-year olds after thev had won £12,857 in stakes, equalling for sale price and ■takes over £50,000 for eight Melton two-year-olds. This is believed to constitute a record in any part of the world. Seaton Delaval has sired the following winners : Rosella, Miss Delaval, Hastings, Blue Paul, Vai Rosa, Beddington, Jim Kean, Laetitia,-Paul Seaton, Belfast, Spark, Mara, Nonette, Little Bees, Idas, Porirua, Grey Seaton,. Northumberland, Gladisla, Mary Seaton, and Leo Delaval. During his first season Seaton Delaval’s progeny won in stakes £2,076, and it must be remember- ' ed that this sum was won by four representatives. During the 1899-1900 season the progeny of Seaton Delaval . have won the good sum of £4151, placing him seventh on the list of winning sires in New Zealand, which, conridering that only twelve of his stock were racing com- /. prised of two and three-year-olds, and eleven of which won races is an exceptional performance, and goes to show that he nicks well with almost any mare, and is not confined to only one family. The progeny of Seaton Delaval have won during the 1900-1901 season £5206 10s, placing him at the top of the list Of winning sires for the Auckland District, while this season heoccupies the leading position among the living sires of New Zealand, his stock having won £10,845, making the total winnings for the four years that the progeny of Seaton Delaval have raced in New Zealand £21,778.
