STILL AT TRENTHAM

FIVE LIMOND YEARLINGS

PURCHASED FOR SYDNEY

Since the National sales in January five of the yearlings bought by or on behalf of Sydney owners have remained in charge of B. Grove at Trentham, and all are now working along nicely on the tracks. They have developed excellently during the last couple of months, and each morning they are to be seen doing easy cantering on the two-year-old circuit.

The five youngsters were among the most costly purchases at" the sale. The highest priced of them is the brown colt by Limond from the imported Grosvenor mare Jewel of Asia, who was bought by Mr. E. Moss, the owner of Veilmond, for 725 guineas. This attractive colt is a halfbrother to Farmer and full-brother to Mr. W. R. Kemball's unraced two-year-old filly, Aryan Beauty, who is in W. Hawthorne's Trentham team.

Another, is the bay colt by Limond from the imported Kroonstad mare Mirabelle II (who is from a half-sister to Desert Gold's sire. All ' Black). This youngster fetched 600 guineas, bein«bought by Mr. Moss on behalf of the Randwick trainer, F. C. Williams. Mirabelle s last year's offering was also purchased for Australia.

Two of the others are relatives to the well-performed Veilmond. One, a brown filly by Limond from Veil, is a fullsister to Veilmond, and is nuggety rather than big. She was purchased by Mr. E. J. Watt for 400 guineas. The other is a bay colt by Limond from Curtain, a three-quarter sister (by Thespian) to VeiL for whom Mr. J. S. Brunton carried the bid also to 400 guineas to obtain. The last of the quintet is the brown colt. by Limond frojn the- King Rufus mare Rose Qneen, thus a full-brother to Ruanui and a half-brother to The Thorn, Roseneath, and Roseglow. He was the cheapest of them, being bought by Mr. W. C. Douglas for 325 guineas. . The two-, year-old full-sister to this youngster, Palm Queen, who had a run in October and was then turned out to mature, is, like Aryan Beauty, also at Trentham in Hawthorne's team.

These five Limond youngsters will be continued in their e_arly preparation till after Easter, then will be shipped to Sydney, where they should come to hand at short notice when required. They are at present quartered in H. B. Lorigan's former stable, and this should be quite a good auspice, for few horses from those boxes have not made good. On arrival at Sydney the Jewel of Asia and Mirabelle II colts will go into Williams's stable, and the other three will be joined up with G. Price.
