MISS AMESBURY, Denbigh Street. Feilding, To stand this season m the FEILDING and EIWITEA Districts, the Thoroughbred Stallion, HANDSOME JACK (foaled 1890). Bred at Sylvia Park. Mt^-jMtL TTANDSOME JACK l^mni I I met with an acciwhich has prevented him being raced, fie was very highly thought of and tried to be a horse of great promise. This hand* some 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 oat that the imported flightlight is the g. grandam of St. Hippo, that Nightlight visited Fireworks, and begat Lamona, who in turn visited fiob» insoD 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 bin blood and breeding are identical. Also, that Sunshine visited Bobinson Crusoe, md the resalt was Sextant, the fastest horse in all the colonies, and the present record for half a mile (47 f 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 bis 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 fall 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 Maribyrnong Plate), half sister to Lantern (winner V.B.C Derby and Melbourne Cup), aleo to Bade Light and My Dream (winner V.B.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, his stock winning L 5.260. St Leger' s sire, Doncaster, wai 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 Auck* land 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.
