Bred at Sylvia Park. m__n__ ¥ mh TTANDSOME JACK ■_QyHHj XX met with an acci- < **^^_^^ | |r r _y which bas prevented him eawaw^Ptsnasssfrora being raced. He was very highly thought of and tried to be a horse of great promise. This handsome colt 19 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 oat that the imported JN ightligbt is tbe g. grandam of St. Hippo, that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamona, who in turn visited Rob* inson Crusoe nnd 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 Robinson Crusoe, and tbe result was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, and the present record for half » mile (47f see) 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 (Auokland), 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.
