TO STAND THIS SEASON AT WOODVILLE AND TAHORAITE, • ; v nniiEThoroughs'sto #\ JL bred Horse f pi%r ST - P^L EICK - -5? gJj. i \ && OJ.TIi.-1 I v,.. I g St. Patrick was • 1-Wt*« - bred by P. J. Murtagh, of Hawke's Bay. He is a dark golden chesnut, standing- 1G hands 2 inches high, and possesses ali the essential qualifications of a sire, viz., good constitution, substance, temper, conformation, and vigour. He is admirably adapted to get good useful stock, as well as race horses. He is considered by competent judges to be one of the grandest horses ever seen in New Zealand. St. Patrick is now G years old, is by the celebrated horse The Premier, by Malton (imported) out of Revoke, mother of Trump Card, one of the grandest horses over bred iv New Zealand. As a two-year-old ho won the Champagne Stakes at Canterbury," after which he was purchased by Mr Stead for 1500 guineas. As a three-year-old he carried oif three Dcrbys—Canterbury, Wellington, and Dunedin. At Canterbury ho ran second for the Cup, weight for age, and on the following day won the Christchurch Plate. At Wellington, after winning tho Derby, ran Lara to a neck for the Cup, giving him two years and Gibs. Afterwards in Dunedin he Avon the Publicans' Purse Handicap, defeating Isaac Walton over his favorite distance, giving him two years and 71bs. At the same meeting , ho cantered home in front of the wonderful horse Tompleton for tho Queen's Plato. lor further performance see Turf Register. The Premier has also been a grand performer on the turf, haviusrwon the Wairarapa Stakes, three miles, beating Koarria, Fishhook, and eight others. He also won tho Empire Plato at Wellington, beating a large field; btit, like St. Patrick, he was put to the stud too SOOil without giving him a chance to distinguish himself, as his family has done before and after him. St. Patrick is one of tho 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 flat bone. He possesses all that is necessary in a sire, size, bone, and bi'ecding. 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 the turf. She started in 46 races and scored 41 wins as follows:—First season: Ilawko'a Bay, G: Wellington, 4 ; Pararoa, 3; Paluuitauui, 4 ; Taranecau, 2 ; Foxton, 4 ; Taratahi, 2 ; Opaki, 3 ; Woyanga, 4. Second season: Wellington, 3; Pararoa, 2 ; Rangitikei, 3. Her last and greatest performance iv tho Wairarapa was in the Ladies' Purse, carrying 12st 41b —4st 4lb of which was dead weight—ending tho career of one of the grandest animals that ever stripped on the New Zealand turf. She has also been a great prize-taker as a brood marc. Sho lias taken eight first prizes, three at Lower Hutt, Wellington, three at Wairarapa, 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 ho never started in anything. I had him under preparation for 8 months two years ago, when tho disqualification by tho Hawkc's Bay Racing Club was placed upon mo, and nnder theso circumstances poor Pat had to return to tho paddock. Last season I had to turn him to account by standing him at tho Wairoa, where he served 92 mares, which I also hope to see him do'this season in his new field. Terms : Single mares, £5 ; groomago, 5s Two or more, the property of tho same owner, as per agreement. Every care will bo taken, but no responsibility incurred. St. Patrick will be at Woodville on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and tho remainder of the week at Tahoraito. All charges to bo paid before removal.
