By Melton. Outof Rosedale, by Rotheihill out of Moe Kos •. bv King Tom out of de Rose, bj Wos Australian. It will be noticed that Seaton Delaval is full of the most fashionable and best staying English blood, and it i e therefore not sui prising than he was a stayer of the first water. Seaton Delaval won as a two-year-old, as a three-year-old, and as a four-year old, aud quitted the 1 urf in 1894, as a five-year old, s und in wind and limb. For quality and beauty of outline it would indeed he difficult to match him, and has been a must successful stallion. The more n iteworthy of tl.e many triumphs were winning the Great N< rthsrn Handicap of £5OO at York, distance one mile and three-quarters, and the Great Northumberland Plate of £lO >0 at Newcastle, two miles, and in this race he b at the winners of the Chester Jup, of the Manchester Cup, and of the City and Suburban. He also ran second in the Great Metropolitan takes at Epsom, two miles ard a-quarter; onlv beaten i head ; and in that race had bef iud him the winners of he G<eat Yorkehire Handicap, of the Goodwood Stakes, end of the Northampt n hire Stakes. The London ■ Sport«man ” of December 19, 1894. wiites as follows:— “ s a son of the very successful sire Melton, a goodlook irg sound horse, and a rare stayer, Seaton Delaval . is pretty sure to make his mark at the stud, and. indeed, it is a 1 mg time since so good a horse was sent to New Zealand.” Melton was sold some years back to the Italian Government for £lO,OOO, and English breeders have ever since been ieg>etting that he was allowed to leave the country, as his stock have been uniformly successful. Owing to h's being abroad, there were no two-year-olds to represent him in 1894, hut in reviewing the racing* season of that year, the London “ Times ” of December 14 last says:—“ Melton, with twenty-three winners of over £13,000, should be given precedence over Wisdom, for Best Man, who won eight races, is undoubtedly his son, and as Melton’s progenv have won £25.1'00 in the lust two seasons, and have included such animals as Best Man Avington, Bullingdon 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 b> en re-imported into England, and he had a full subscription of mares for 1901 at £4OO service for each. Thia is owing to the remarkable and uniform success of his flist crop of two-year-olds sired since his re-importa-tion thrt were running in 1900. Eight of tiiem won no less than £12.857 in stakes, and of these more than one was unlucky in being badly ridden in races they otherwise would have won. Two of these two-year-olds, Toddington and Princess Melton, were sold privately for £25,i On, and later in the year the remaining six not thought to be as good, were sold by auction for £12,852, making; in all £37.852 for eight two-year-olds after they had won £12,857 in stakes, equalling for sale price and stakes over £50,000 for eight Melton two-year-o ds. This is believed to constitute a record in'any part of the world. Seaton Delaval has sired Che following winners:—Rosella, Miss Delaval, Hasting , Blue Paul. Vai R ;sa. Bedding ton, Jim Kean, Laetitia, P ul Seaton, Belrtst, Spark, Mara, Vonette, Little Bess, Idas, Porirua, Grey Seaton, Northumberland, Gladisla, Mary Seaton, Silkw nm, Gladsome and Leo Delaval. During his first season Beaton Delaval'a progenv won in stakes £2.076, and it must be remembered that this sum was won bv four representatives. During the 1899 1890 season the progeny of neaton Delaval have won the good sum of £1 151, placing him seventh on the list of winning sires in New Zealand, which, considering that only twelve of his stock e racing comprised of two and three-year-o'ds, and eleven of which won races is an txcertional performance, and goes to show that he nicks well with almost any mare, and is not confined to only one family. The progeny of Seston Delaval have won daring Ihe 1900-1901 season £5,206 10s, placing him at the top of the list of winning sires for the Auckland District, while this season he occupies the leading position among the livirg sires of New Zealand Will be limitod to 20 mares, besides his owner’s TERMS FOR APPROVED MARES: 30 Guineas for Sing e Mare. 25 Guineas Two or More, the property of the sameowner.
