PERTOBE is a beautiful dapplo brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H. Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got by Panic (imported); his dam,, Hester Grazebrook, by Tho Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delaprd (im» ported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). See Victoria Stud Book, Vol. 11., p. 4'?- Panio was im. ported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trainod and raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was purchased at a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' training and racing. He proved himself tho bc3t English horse ever trainod in Australia, He ran remarkably well, and won several races, carrying heavy weights ; ho was both speedy and staying, of a most docile and quiet temper, with a wonderful constitution, and legs like iron. Like his siro, that first* class English racehorse Alarm, "ho wag, never sick, sorry, or lame," and rotirod from the turf without a blemish. At tho 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 ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBE thero is a combination of some excellent strains of blood, such as the Waxy- Whalebono a in that famous line through Defence, and which comes to him on tho sides of both sire and dam. On his sire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence blood, that of the game and stout Venison, the powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, most excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. "The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniablo, having furnished so many proofs, not alouo as to its being speedy and staying, but also to its 'training on,' and being essential! if. ' running strain for although some otnv.-i occasionally produce one or two first-class animals, few, if any, can compete with Pantaloon as to numbers. A very grand recommendation of this strain of blood is, that it mixes successfully with, and improves, all others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with him to the same effect. On the Bide o£ the dam of Pertobe there is a lot o£ good blood coming in through The Premier, whoso grandsire, Tomboy, was by Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mara (tlici dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated, not only as a first-class racor, but also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the proßoni time, viz., the Newminsters). The Oalaprd blood is also very good indeed. DelnprS'a dam, Portress, by Defence, was the dam oi the Derby winner, Pyrrhus tho First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good, he being by Wanderer, by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eclipso. In Tasmania, so much is tho Wanderor blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wanderor was never known," and if they can traeo a pedigree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that quite sufficient, • PERTOBE, by CD CO cr ►* ef* P Cfi-d W K FAo H (0 O » p 0 a & p* & 9 P B-i P*B P ft Qt a o P 0" s - P B-rri r-3 8® & £ CD CP M et rr o 52 p K3 B'B § G's S eg cr--7* B *< 5 B CO K5 pj Q « a 2 ctq Q .
