Bred at Sylvia Park. o^^^* TTANDBOME JACK ■I^^^BwJ i"l met with an acciwhich has prevented him 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 flightlight ii the g grandam of St. Hippo, that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamona, who in turn visited Kob» inson 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 his blood aud breeding are identical. Also, that Sunshine visited Bobinson Crusoe, and the result was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, ou<X th« present record for balf a mile (47 Jsec) was established by him as a two year-old in Christchurch, 1836- The same season Sextant won Christchurch Challenge Stakes, carrying 7.4, beating Maxim 7-9, Fair Nell, 3yrs, 7.11. Sextant was then sold to 6. G. Stead, Esq , at a very high price, and in his colours won the follow* ing classic races during 1888 : Great Northern Derby (Auckland), Hawke's Bay St Leger and Auokland St Leger. Badiant never raced. She is fall sister to Utopia. Cruiser, and Quadrant, and half sister to Palliser. Her first foal, Lustre, baa won several races, and is full brother to Handsome Jack. Sunshine, the grandam fof Badiant, won the V.B.C. Oaks, and is sister to Dagmar (winner Maribjrnong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner V.B.C Derbj and Melbourne Cap), also to Bade JLight : and My D*eam (winner V.B.C Oaks).
