It will be seen by reference to the abovo pedigree that Opawa is bred tho right Avay for both pace and power, having on the sire's side the grand "Whalebone, Waxy, and Pantaloon strains, whilst on his dam's side he boasts an equally illustrious lino of ancestry. As a racehorse Opawa proved himself a Avorthy descendant of his high lineage, having avoii some of tho best contacted races on this Island, giving lumps of weights to liirt opponents. As a three-year-old, after standing the season, ho ran two Aveight-for-agc races at Blenheim. [As a four-year-old, after standing the season, he Avon the Wanganui Stakes, £80, weight - for - age, beating- Folly, Black Eagle, Satellite, Tambourini, and Maid of the Mill. The next day he came out again, and Avon tho W.J.C. Handicap, of £170, carrying Sst 31b, beating nine others, including Tambourini, Black Eagle, and Maori Weed. In the same month at Tara-r naki, ho won the Cup of £50, weight-for-age, lavo miles, beating Tambourini, after a splendid struggle. The same day, carrying Ost 21b, he won the Ladies' Pnrse, beating Tambourini, Resolution, and Camelia. The next day Opawa placed tho T.J.C. Handicap, £100, to his credit, carrying Sst 41b, and then finished the day by winning the Raihvay Stakes in a canter. The following year he again Avon the W.J.C Handicap, Ost 71b, and Wanganui Stakes, weight-for-age. Opawa also Avon several other well contested races. It Avill be seen, therefore, that Opawa is well worthy of the attention of breeders, his pedigree being of the highest strains of winning blood, and his performances unequalled on this side of tho world. Ho is as sound as the day he Avas foaled, and possesses a constitution of unsurpassed excellence. Terms—£s 5s for each mare. Two or more as per agreement.
