McLean, Esq., of Hawke’s Bay, and is. considered one of the highest caste Arab 6tallions ever imported into the Australasian colonies.. The Australasian says : “ This is certainly the most beautiful Arab horse ever imported. He stands over 15 hands, and*has immense bone, with plenty [of substance and quality all over. Hje is acknowledged to be the very best Arab that ever ran in India, prooi of that being that at one meeting in Calcutta he had no less than three walk-overs, tne Indian Herald remaßking :. ‘No owner earing,, to start against the great Crusader at weight-for-'age, the Desert Plate, distance two miles, resulted in a walkover. Crusader won the Uehra Derby, Umbslla Derby, desert Stakes, Asian Plate, Madras Derby,’ and many" other races. After racing in India for five years, at all distances, under big weights, Crusader retired from the turf with an unbeaten record.”- SARACEN is a blood buy with black points, standing 15 hands 3 inches, with plenty of bone Vnd substance.
