Owner In Wellington

AN IRISH WINNER

(By

The Watcher.)

A recent two-year-old winner in Ireland in the Ally Edvlna, was purchased at the Newmarket Sales on account ot the' Wellington owner, Mr. T. 1-1. Coltnian. When bio .representative, Mr. Gerald McKlligott, of the British Bloodstock Agency, Ltd., found it had become impossible to secure shipping space to send the yearling to New Zealand, he shipped her across to Ireland to be trained by Al. C. Collins. Edvina won at her first start and Mr. Coltman lias just received advice that; at her second start at The Curragli she won the Newbridge N'prsery Handicap, five furlongs, by two lengths from the favourite. Mrs. Swan Song, whom she defeated by two lengths. There were 13 starters. Edvina is very well bred aS she is by the rising'young .sire, Figaro, son of Colorado, who was one of the most brilliant gallopers of his time, his victories including the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood, the class horses he defeated that day including Manitoba, now one of the leading sires in Australia. Louise, the dam of Edvina. Is by the noted French sire, Finglas, a son of the stayer, Bruledr, while' the grandam, Devonshire House, is by Swynford from Picardel, a half-sister to Perfect I’each, tlie dam of the brilliant gallopers. Stefan the Great and 'Sdrchedon. Hull Mark, and the famous stayer, William the Third, are from this branch of the No. 2 family.

Good Reports from Waikato. Though Te Hero, ndw at the stud in the Waikato, became a problem when racing, he has settled down into a very docile stallion, and Incidentally has developed into a sire of outstanding s.u.bstanee and quality. Te Hero Is by the great sire, Heroic, whose sons are. doing exceptionally well at the stt;d in Australia, so it Is not surprising that a very high opinion is held of Te Hero’s yearlings by their owners. Te. Hero is now owned by Mr. Alan Kay, who has him at his Ornkau stud, near Te Awamutu. Ho was bred by Mr. M. H. Tims, who has bred and raced’ many higll-class horses, including Te Kara, Gallio, a half-brother by. General Gatour to Te Hero, Karopoti, a great Northern Derby winner who established many records in India later on, while liis latest winner, Tutere, was also bred by Mr. Tims. ' Tutere, who is b.v Mri Standfast, a half-brother to Beau Pere, Is out of a sister to Gallio, while his graiidam. Prodlce, Is a half-sister to Amnion Ila, winner of the A.J.C. Derby, and over 4425.000 tn stakes. Te Hero will be represented •by yearlings at the 11143 National ’Sales, entries for which have just closed. Successful Sires. Beau Pere, 'by Son-in-Law from Cinna, bv Polvmelus,' who was one of five halfbrothers . brought to. New Zealand, the others being Gay Shield, by Gay Crusader, Mr. Standfast, by Buchan, Dink, by Nothing Venture, and Baljoek. by Obliterate, was the leading sire at the Treutham meeting. His two winners were Ivar and Gayest Son, the latter also running hecoud. With £llO5 to his credit. Beau Pere just headed Hunting Song, £lO5O. who had one winner in Centrepoise, and three jilaclngs to his credit. Then came Bulandshar with £705. followed by Tiderace and Theio, equal with £OSO, with the champion stallion, Foxbridge, in sixth place With £OlO. The 'Trentham sire. Kincardine, sire -or the champion. Kindergarten., headed the next bunch with £525, and those to score over £2OO were, Colossus £420, Spiral £375, and Mr. Standfast, Laughing Prince, Ringmaster, Man's Pal and Siegfried, each with £245. A feature of the raping was the promise shown by the progeny of the vouug Koatanui sire, Spiral, by ■Liniond, Whose chances have been very lim.ted as many of Mr. Currie’s mares, are related to him. Stairway is a very promising .stayer as is the three-year-old HU , .Damask. Spiral, is also the sire of tin. smart two-year-old, Screen.
