As a racehorse Opawa proved himself a worthy descendant of his high line- a age, having won some of the best conteeted races on this Island, giving lumps of weights to his opponents. As a three-year-old, £1 after standing the season, he ran two weight-for-age races at Blenheim. As a v four-year-old, after standing tho season, c ho won the Wanganui Stakes, £80, * a weight - for - age, beating Polly, Black Eagle, Satellite, "Tambourini, and Maid of v the Mill. The next day he came out again, and won the W.J.C. Handicap, of £170, £ carrying Sst 3lb, beating nine others, in- £ eluding Tambourini, Black Eagle, and Maori Weed. In the same month at Taranaki, he won the Cup of £50, weight-for- ' age, two miles, beating Tambourini, after a splendid struggle. The same day, carrying 9st 21b, he won the Ladies' Pnrsc, beating Tambourini, Resolution, and , Camelia. The next day Opawa placed tho T.J.C. Handicap, £100, to his c credit, carrying Sst -lib, aud then finished . the day by winning the Railway Stakes in a canter. Tho following year he again won J the W.J.C Handicap, 9st 71b, and Wanga- J nui Stakes, weight-for-age. Opawa also * won several other well contested races. It , will 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 un- i equalled on this side of the world. Ho is , as sound as tho day ho was foaled, and pos- _ Bosses a constitution of unsurpassed ex- - cellcnce. ', Terms—£s 5s for each maro. Two or more as per agreement.
