Bred at Sylvia Park. tfMa-riKft TTANDSOME JACK »tfg|LjHflff J 1 I met with an acciwhich has prevented him being raced. lie 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 IN ightlight is the g. grandam of St. Hippo, that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamonu, who in turn visited ftob* 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 Maribymong 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 (47f 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 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 following 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 !of Badiant, won the V-B.C. Oaks, and is sister to Dagmar (winner Maribymong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner V.B.C Derby and Melbourne Cup), also to Bude Light and My Dream (winner V.8.0 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. 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. Stock got by Handsome Jack in Auckland show a great deal of quality. Handsome Jack' stands Id hands 2f inches, and comes from a great family, and his fee (5 guineas) is very moderate for thoroughbred mares. Half*bred mares and ponies taken at a reasonable reduction. Limited to 25 mares. Inspection solicited. Grazing free for one month, after that is 6d per week. All care taken, but no responsibility For further particulars apply to W.F.MoBBTH, Kiwitea
