Magazan was bred in England and went to America where he sired seven two-year-olds, winners of twentyone races, while during a year thirtytwo of his “gets” have won eightyfour faces. One horse by him won a four-mile race in record time —7min 14 l-ssec. Successful winners by Magazan total ever 100.

HALLOWMAS’ Bruce Lowe number is 20, which is the same as that of Traducer. one of the greatest sires ever in this Dominion. Martian, who has proved a great success at the stud is the only other sire by Martagon now in New Zealand, among his progeny being those high-class racehorses Cherubini, Warstep, Danube and Soldiers' Cl orus.
