! SARACEN, SARACEN is by Crusader (Imported), dam Belle, by Arab Child '(imported), grand dam Mary (imp.), hunting mare. Crusader was imported from India by A. McLean, ii'sq., of Hawke’s Bay, and is considered one of the highest caste Arab stallions 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. He is acknowledged to be the very best Arab that ever ran in India, proof of that being that at one meeting in Calcutta he had no less than three walk-overs, the Indian Herald remarking : ‘ jNo owner oaring to start against the great Crusader at Weight-for-age, the Desert Plate, distance two miles, repujted in a walkover. Cpusiader won the JJehra Def by, Umballa 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 I blood bay with black points, standing 15 bands 3 inches, with plenty of hope and substance. He is very quiet and good-tempered, and from the stoutness of his breeding, his progeny are ' qertaijn to be most valuable either for .hacks, hunters, or carriage horses. Every care'taken, but no responsibility.
