Bred at Sylvia Park. 0. Igft TTANDSOME JACK M^^PyO-J I I met with an acciwhich has prevented him being raced. He was very highly thought of and tried to be a hor:;e of great promise. This handsome colt 19 well worth inspection of breeders, and such a .remarkable chance is seldoca offered" to them. It is worth bringing the attention of breeders to his tabulated pedigree, and would point out that the imported A ightlight is the g. grand am of St. Hippo, that Nigbtlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lumona, who in turn visited Kobinson 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 Robinson 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 same season Sextant won Christchurch Challenge Stakes, carrying 7.4, beating Maxim 79, Fair Nell, 33' rs, 7.11. Sextant was then sold to G. G. Stead, Esq., at a very high price, and in bis colours won the following classic races during 1888 : Great Northern Derby (Auckland), Hawke's Bay St Leger and Auckland St Leger. Radiant 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, tha grandam Jof Badiant, won the V«RC. 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. bis stock winning L 5.250.
