HYMETTUS is rich in Stockwell and Touchstone strains, and has already proved himself a worthy sire, member of the great Agnes family from which so many brilliant racehorses and sires have descended. He was fourth on the list of winning sires in New Zealand la«t year, and with 20 winners of place money, including that exceptionally fine colt Hymestra and his full sister Torfreda, has done better than most imported horses the same time at the stud.
