GLENORA PARK YEARLINGS.
The annual sale of Glenora Park yearlings will take nlace at Papakura on January 3, 1908, and a few remarks about the youngsters to be put under the hammer by Mr. Walters may not be out of place. A brown colt by Soult —The Squaw, is a very lively fellow, and possessing as he does plenty of size and carrying a very racy appearance, he leaves the impression that his purchaser, whoever he may be, will never regret the deal. A bay colt by Menschikolf —Electra is a well-built colt, and gives promise of being able to earn the feed he consumes. A bay filly by Seaton Delaval —Evelyn, is a well-grown youngster and greatly resembles many of the Seaton Delaval family in respect to being of the long, lean sort. St. Olga, the sister to that game little horse, St. Paul, is responsible for a brown filly
by Merriwee, and although she does not appear to be overburdened with * quality, She gives the impression that when she,is led into the ring she will not be allowed to go without some spirited bidding. This is St. Olg’s first foal. A brown filly by Soult — Gold Web, and therefore a full sister to the pony Hughie, is a well-grown and muscular looking youngster, and should eclipse the performances of her brother. A full sister to Celtic by Menschikoff —St. Margaretta, has plenty of size to recommend her, and as she bears a very racy appearance her future looks promising. The “star” of the collection is a colt by Multiform—Soultgirl, a colt over which any true lover of the thoroughbred might go into ecstasy. Looked at from any point this fellow fills the bill in every particular. He has a blood-like head, powerful shoulders, and excellent quarters, and is a true son of Multiform. Soultgirl is by Soult —Fishgirl, the latter being by Yattendon —Fanny Fisher. A chestnut filly by Patronus —La Bijouterie does not fill the eye as Multiform’s son does, she not having furnished out so much as one would have expected, but nevertheless gives promise of developing into solid mare in time. A beautiful brown colt by Soult —Lady Emmeline, has done well, and has plenty of size and length, and he will probably race early. The colt, it may be remarked, is a full brother to Cordon Rouge (winner of the Avondale Stakes), and Mignon; both very fast sprinters. Curacoa is responsible for a very evenly-built filly by Soult, and she bears a very racy appear- . ance. Curacoa herself was never raced but. her dam Rubina was very fast, and won innumerable races. Rubina is the dam of that one-time phenominally smart sprinter Machine Gun, who put up a record for five furlongs in New Zealand with the tidy impost of 11.5 to carry. The chestnut colt by Spalpeen —Epingle, although foaled late, shows plenty of size, and should command attention of those at the ringside on January 3. Epingle (Medallion — Epine) never raced, but Spalpeen won races both over hurdles and on the flat. A well-grown colt showing plenty of promise and quality is the youngster by Soult —Inamorata. A colt who gives the impression that he will be ready for the fray early s the bay son of Soult —Helen McGregor and as he is very evenly built and solid should command attention from those in search of racehorses. St. Edith is represented by a colt by Soult. The youngster is of good conformation, strong, robust, and well-made, and should make a good stayer. A filly by Soult —Lady Musket, is very big, and anyone would hardly credit that a filly could be so big for her size. She will, however, probably require time before being seen at her best on the race track. She is very lengthy and strong. A filly possessing great substance is that by Multiform—Soult Rose, and she may be said to stand by herself amongst the fillies. She is said to be very fast and if this is so, the bidding for her possession should be very spirited. Soult Rose is a full sister to that great stayer Wairiki.
