Victorian Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. Ho was trained, and raced at 4, and again ptlt to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, ho was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria,, where he had two more seasons' training; and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; he was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful oonatitution, and legs like iron. Like ,his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Al&rm, "he was never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired from the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an out-of-the-way place, he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, and for general purposes his stock is much esteemed. :

In the breeding of PERTOBE there is a combination of some excellent strains of. blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebone, iiii that famous line through. Defenoe, and. which comes to him on the sides of botlii sire and dam. On his sire Panic's sidei there is, as well as his good Defence blood,, that of the game and stout Venison, thai powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most; excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. " Thoi value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniably having furnished so many proofs, not alouci as to its being speedy and staying, but also* to its 'training on,'and being essentially a ' running strain;' for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if ainy, can compete with Pantaloon an to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this blood is, that it mixes successfully wipf|and improves, all others." Thus writes'.uqpperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobe there is a lot of good blood coming in through Tho Pro-, rnier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (thet dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated! not only as a first-class racer, but; also as the maternal ancestress of England's! very best family of racehorses at the presents time, viz., the Newminßtera). The Delapr6> blood is also very good ilideed. Dolaprd's* dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam o£ the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tha'Firßt. Mrs,. Roberta, the great grand-dam of Pertobk; was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood ia good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, bo much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that, quite sufficient.
