MADDER is the dam of Munjista (winner C.J.C. Oaks) and dam of Indigo (winner of N.Z. Cup and other races), Rose Madder (dam of Sea Pink, winner of many races), Rubia, Munjeet and Ukraine (dam of Sasanof, winner of Melbourne Cup and other good races). ALL RED is a beautiful dark bay, 16 hands 2 inches high, on real good feet, with plenty of bone of good quality.

ALL RED himself was a proved racehorse, and won over all distances, carrying tremendous weights, and Mr. J. H. Prosser, who prepared him for all his engagements, will say one of the most courageous and best constitutioned horses that he ever put a saddle on. Mares will be met at Hunterville Railway Station.

New Zealand horses engaged in the Melbourne Cup and their weights are: Desert Gold 9.6, Estland 9.0, Bunting 8.3, Bee 7.13, Finmark 7.7, Arch Marella 7.3, Kilflinn 7.3, Kill’em 6.13, Kilowen 6.13, Risingham 6.9, Kilmain 6.7. Snub’s weight was not given in the cable. In the Caulfield Cup the weights are: Desert Gold 9.8, Biplane 9.5, Estland 8.13, Bunting 8.7, Bee 8.3, Red Pennant 8.0, Finmark 7.9, Kilflinn 7.7, Killowen 7.1, Kill’em 6.7, and Kilmain 6.7. If Bunting could be brought fit and well to the post in the Melbourne Cup he would have a good show, and so might Red Pennant, whose erratic conduct when he last ran in Brisbane however would lose him friends, as he kept bumping into other horses, and then came out a winner. Biplane may be found taking on the Caulfield Cup if he comes out of his w.f.a. engagements in Sydney satisfactorily, and so may Desert Gold, but neither are likely to be supported until they have demonstrated their fitness in New South Wales. Mr. T. H. Lowry has so many strings to his bow that he will be unlucky if he is unrepresented at the finish in the two important handicap events. Estland may be set for one of the big spring events.
