BARRAUD & ABRAHAM^ To stand this season in the FEILDING and KIWITEA Districts, the Thoroughbred Stallion, HANDSOME JACK (foaled 1890). Bred at Sylvia ParkG+*mw€B& TTANDSOME JACK W^S£JBPejL|[ JL_l_ met with an acci iSnlr WQ ich has prevented him f rona being raced. He was very highly thought of and tried to be a horse of great promise. This handsome colt is well worth inspection of breeders, and such a remarkable chance is seldom offered to them. It is worth bringing the attention of breeders to his tabulated pedigree, and would point out that the imported x ightlight is the g grandam of St. Hippo, that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamona, who in turn visited Kob» inson Crusoe and bep;at Hippona dam of St. Hippo, so that Handsome Jack claims to be bred on the same line, and with the only addition of Maribyrnong his blood aud breeding are identical. Also, that Sunshine visited Robinson Crusoe, and the result was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, and the present record for half a mile (47jsec) was eslabiished by him as a two year-old in Christchurch, 1886 The same seasoa Sextant won Ghristchurch Challenge Stakes, carrying 7.4, beating Maxim 79, Fair Nell, 3yrs, 7.11- Sextant was then sold to G. G. Stead, Esq , at a very high price, and in his colours won the following classic races during ISSB .- Great Northern Derby (Auckland), Hawke's Bay St Leger and Auckland St Leger. Radiant ne^er raced. She is full sister to Utopia, Cruiser, and Quadrant, and half sister to Palliser. Her first foal, Lustre, has won several races, and is full brother to Handsome Jack. Sunshine, the grandam of Radiant, won the V-R O. Oaks, and is sister to Dagmar (winner Maribyrnong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner V.R.C Derby and Melbourne Cup), also to Bude Light and My Dream (winner V.R.C Oaks), St Leger, sire of Handsome Jack, is now standing at a fee of 30 guineas, and is at the head of winning stallions for season 1893. his stock winning L 5.250.
