Bred at Sylvia Park. TTANDSOME JACK _______H_J I,| met with an acci- , which has prevented him , 4lMHMMlPfrom being raced. He was very highly thought of and tried to be a horse of great promise. This handI some colt is well worth inspection of breeders, and such a iremarkable chance 1 is seldom oifered to them. It is worth bringing the attention of , breeders to his tabulated pedigree, and would point out that the imported JNightlight is the g. grandam of St. Hippo, , that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamona, who in turn visited Bob* inaon Crusoe and begat Hippona, dam of St. Hippo, so that Handsome Jack claims to be bred on the same line, and with the only addition of Maribyrnong hid blood aud breeding are identical. Also, that Sunshine visited Bobinson Crusoe, and the result was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, and the present reco rd for half a mile (47$ sec) was estab iished by him as a two-year-old in Christchurch, 1886. The same season Sextant won Christchurch Challenge Stakes, carrying 7.4, beating Maxim 7.9, Fair Nell, 3yrs, 7.11. Sextant wjas then sold to G. G. Stead, Esq., at a very high price, and in his colours won the following 1 classic races during 1888 : Great Northern Derby (Auckland), Hawke's Bay St Leger and Auckland St Leger. Badiant never raced. She is full sister to Utopia, Cruiser, and Quadrant, and half Bister to Palliser. Her first foal, Lastre, has won several races, and is full brother to Handsome Jack. Sunshine, the grandam 'of Badiant, won the V.R.C. Oaks, and is sister to Dagmar (winner Maribyrnong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner V.B.C Derby and Melbourne Cnp), also to Bude Light and My Dream (winner V.E.C Oaks). St Leger, sire of Handsome Jaok, 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. St Leger's sire, Doncaster, was sold in England for LU.OOO. Bobinson Crusoe and Onyx are full brother and sister, and Onyx is dam of Nordenfeldt.
