Hawa A Loss To Australia

Australians must now be regretting the loss of Hawa to the sire strength of their country. Now owned by Mr W. E. Hazlett, and with Kurdistan at the Chelandry Stud near Invercargill, Hawa has sired some fast youngsters in South Australia, where he has two crops racing. Hawa was represented by three winners in Adelaide last Saturday week. Snow Glory set the ball rolling for Hawa when she scored a stylish win over a brilliant filly in Bain Jewel in the first Urrbrae Handicap. Shortly after Royal Hawa beat another Hawa youngster in his stablemate. The Gannett, in the colts and geldings division o fthe Urrbrae.

Later in the day Drop Volley (Hawa —Sister Theo) won the Victoria Park Stakes over five furlongs. Hawa’s three winners are trained by C. S. Hayes. The progeny of this imported horse have woo more than 30 races in Australia this season, and Royal Hawa is his 17th individual winner. Royal Hawa is the first foal of the former smart race mare How Do, which was also prepared by Hayes and won 13 metropolitan races. How Do, a New Zealandbred mare by Boissier, is closely related to the Melbourne Cup winner, Toparoa. Hawa stood at Beaufields Stud in South Australia jnd was originally sent from England by the Australian jockey.

R. Hutchinson, to prepare for the Oakleigh Plate and the Newmarket Handicap. However, Hawa failed to stand training, and he has been an instant success as a sire of sprinters.
