TO STAND THIS SEASON AT AVOODVILLE AND TAHORAITE, ,<f&- "\ nnHEThoroughflsL IL\ L bred Horse fi?}T?>- iWr ST - PATRICK. V/ T ' ** \\ St. Patrick was 0;,,,- ' J\ bred by P. J. Miutagh, of HaAvke's Bay. Ho is a dark golden chesnut, standing 10 hands 2 inches high, and possesses all tbe essential qualifications of a sire, A'iz., good constitution, substance, temper, conformation, and vigour. He is admirably adapted to get good useful stock, as ivell as race horses. He is considered by competent judges to bo ono of the grandest horses ever seen in Ncav Zealand. St. Patrick is now G years old, is by the celebrated horse The Premier, by Malton (imported) out of Roi'oke, mother of Trump Card, one of tho grandest horses ever bred in Noav Zealand. As a two-year-old he won the Champagne Stakes at Canterbury, after ivhich he Avas purchased by Mr Stead for 1500 guineas. As a three-year-old he carried off three Dcrbys—Canterbury, Wellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury he ran second for the Cup, weight for age, and on the following day won the Christchurch Plato. At AVellington, after winning the Derby, ran Lara to a neck for the Cup, giving him two years and Gibs. Afterwards in Dunedin he won tho Publicans' Purse Handicap, defeating Isaac Walton over his favorite distance, giving him two years and 71bs. At the same meeting he cantered homo in front of tho wonderful horse Tcmpleton for the Queen's Plate. lor further performance see Turf Register. The Premier has also been a grand performer on tho turf, having won the'AVairarapa Stakes, three miles, beating Koarria, Fishhook, and eight others. He also won the Empire Plate at AVellington, beating a large field ; but, like St. Patrick, ho was put to the stud too soon Avithout giving him a chance to distinguish himself, as his family has done before and after him. St. Patrick is ono of the handsomest horses ever bred in New Zealand. He is thoroughly sound, has a beautiful head and muscular neck let into slanting shoulders, short back, grand quarters, long gaskins, good legs, and fiat bone. He possesses all that is necessary in a siro, size, bono, and breeding. He is out of that far-famed mare Phoenix by Gownsman (imported), out of Ikamataki by Figaro (imported), out of Brunette by Riddlesworth (imported). Phoenix has been a clipper on tho turf. She started in 4G races and scored 41 wins as follows:—First season: Hawke's Bay, 6 : AVellington, 4 ; Pararoa, 3; Pahautauui, 4 ; Taranecau, 2 ; Foxton, 4; Taratahi, 2; Opaki, 3; AVeyanga, 4. Second season: AVellington, 3; Pararoa, 2; Rangitikei, 3. Her last and greatest performance in the AVairarapa was in the Ladies' Purse, carrying 12st 41b—4st 4lb of which was dead weight—ending the career of one of the grandest animals tliat ever stripped on the Now Zealand turf. She has also been a great prize-taker as a brood marc. She has taken eight first prizes, three at Lower Hutt, AVellington, three at AVairarapa, and two more at Canterbury, while with Traducer it can be plainly seen that St. Patrick's ancestors came from a racing family, and were racers themselves. St. Patrick never had a chance to show whether he could race or not, as he never started in anything. I had him under preparation for 8 mouths two years ago, when the disqualification by the Hawke's Bay Racing Club was placed upon me, and under these circumstances poor Pat had to return to the paddock. Last season I had to turn him to account by standing' him at tho AVairoa, where he served 02 marcs, ivhich I also hope to see him do this season in his new field. Terms : Single marcs, £5 ; groomage, 5s Two or more, tho property of the same owner, as per agreement. Every care will be taken, but no responsibility incurred. St. Patrick Aiill bo at AVoodville on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and the remainder of the week at Tahoraite. All charges to be paid before removal. For further information apply to tho Groom in charge, or to P. J. MURTAGH, Proprietor. TO STAND AT MARAEKAKAHO THIS SEASON. rfijfjisy The Pure-bred Clydesdale %!iJGOI& CASTLEREAGH.
