To stand this season m the FEILDING and KIWITEA Districts, the Thoroughbred Stallion, HANDSOME JACK (foaled 1890). Bred at Sylvia Park. _■ _fl. TTANDSOME JACK ____HH_ fl 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 Mightlight is the g. grandam of St. Hippo, that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamon&j who in turn visited Bob* 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 and breeding are identical. Also, that Sunshine visited Bobinson Crusoe, and the result was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, and the present record for half a mile (47|sec) was established by him as a two year-old in Christchurch, 1886- The samo season Sextant won Christchturch Challenge Stakes, carrying 7.4, beating Maxim 7.9, 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 follow* ing 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 sister to Palliser. Her first foal, Lustre, has 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 Maribjroong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner Y.B.G Derby and Melbourne Cup), also to Bude Light and Mj Dream (winner V.B.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 L5.25Q. St Leger's sire, Doncaster, was sold in England for L 14.000. Bobinsou Crusoe and Onyx are full brother and sister, and Onyx is dam of Nordenfeldt. Stock got by Handsome Jack in Auckland show a great deal of quality.
