OAMBRIA J»iRK B™° PAPATOITOI, AUCKLAND. The following Sires will stand;this season: — CYRENIAN, By St. Simon—Daisy Chain, by Springfield— Chatelaine, by Cambuscan. A LIMITED NUMBFR OF SUBSCRIPTIONS AT 25 GUINEAS. This beautiful young horse, bred by Lord Londonderry in 1894. is a whole bay, with black points) rare quality and substance and excellent temper. He was a good performer, winning Hardwicke Stakes, Granby Stakes, Johnston’s Plate at Stockbridge, Welter at Newmarket, and Belper’s Plate at Derby, and went to the Stud sound in every respect. He is the highest-priced stallion ever imported to the Australian Colonies, and is a direct descendant of ECLIPSE, through both his sire and dam. That great authority, Bruce Lowe, writes “ A direct descendant of Eclipse, through the best source. Whalebone.” St. Simon won over all distances, and was never beaten. His stud fee is 600 guineas, and his sons axe highly valued wherever the thoroughbred is known. Springfield has the splendid record of 14 starts in 1876 and 1877, winning every time During his whole career he was only beaten twice, each time running second, a head behind the winner. He sired winners of 326 races, winning stakes amounting to over £140,000. His daughter, Morganette, is the dam of Galtee More and Ard Patrick, both Derby-winners. Saintfleld, a full sister to Cyrenian, produced (her first season at the stud) Carabine, a good performer, winner of a number of races including Nottingham Plate £5OO, and Manchester Handicap of £1,500. Bock Sand, who has won the two great classic events, Two Thousand Guineas and Derby, in England this season, has had a particularly brilflant career. As a two-year-old, out of seven starts he only once suffered defeat, when he ran third to Flotsam and Mead in the Middle Park Plate. Auckland is fortunate in the possession of a horse bred very much like this year’s Derby winner. Cyrenian to a very large extent possesses the same blood, as he is by St. Simon out of Daisy Chain by Springfield. Rock Sand is by Sainfoin by Springfield, out of Boquebrune by £t. Simon. Rock Sand is simply saturated with Stockwell blood, as Sainfoin’s sire is a grandson, and his dam a granddaughter, while Roquebrune’s sire. St. Simon, is out of St? Angela by a halfbrother to Stockwell, and Roquebrune’s granddam was a Stockwell ‘mare. Cyrenian has almost exactly similar blood in his veins, so that this handsome young itallion is bred on the moat successful lines in England to-day. ETON, By Castor—Lady Walmsley (own Sister to "Carbine) by Musket—Mersey. The stock of this aristocratically bred young horse is very promising. His close . relationship to Carbine should make him attractive to breeders. Subscription : Ten Guineas. The First Ten Approved Mares will be booked at ; Five Guineas. Grazing can',be arranged; every care, but no responsibility. Further particulars from E. B. ALEXANDER, Secretary, Strand Arcade, Auckland, or from THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, P.O. Box 207. Auckland. Z2JLBNORA J>ARK jgTUD THE WELL KNOWN THOROUGHBRED SIRE, , SOULT, By St. Simon—Beauharnaif', by Sea Saw— Josephine, by Irish Birdcatcher —Inheritas. Soult proved himself a good performer in England, and what is better has proved himself one of the most successful horses ever imported to the colonies. In the season 1901-2 sixteen of his progeny were racing, and fifteen of them have won money (this is a record). The amount of stakes won here and in South Africa was over £3,000. This season Soult’s stock have won over fifty-five races, and no less a number than twenty seconds are down to their credit, to which attach over £5,500 in stakes. The following area few of the races won- bv the descendants of Soult this season :—Avondale Stakes, Cordon Rouge ; Avondale Guineas, Wairikij Hawke’s Bay J.C., Hastings Stakes Sans Peur ; A.R.O. Guineas, Birthday Handi cap, Great Northern Derby (in record time, 2.37), Auckland Summer Cup, Autumn Handicap (one mile and a-half, 9.5, time 2.37, easily), Wairiki. Until the last season or two Soult has been quite neglected by breeders. A careful perusal of his winning stock will show they were nearly all bred at Glenora Park, clearly showing that he had very few thoroughbred mares outside his owner’s. Owners of mares who wish to patronise Soult this season are reminded that he will only serve a limited number outside his owners. His list is rapidly filling, And booking for the following season.
