NEW ZEALAND HORSES SCORE

SUCCESS.

(Notes by “Cicero.”) The success of the New Zealan bred horses Kilboy and Sasanoff, ana tiie good performances of Kooya am Bee who each finished second, ma;, have the effect of reinstating in favm the horses from this side of the lasman. For a considerable time the fort most sporting writers m Austra 1H ' have shown by their statements that they looked on New Zealanc horses as very much inferior to thei own/ Only a few months ago, a pro minent writer for the Sydney Rc force,” in reviewing the form or tha o-reat fillv Desert Gold, stated in nc uncertain way, that Mr Lowry’s fill? was much over-rated, and would havlittle chance with Woorak and Co. In the light of Sasanoff’s performan cos the writer was premature in hr remarks. ‘'SaSaitofH was nrtdoubtably; a good two-year-old, but if one is t< as a, guide his meeting with Desert Gold in the Challenge Stakes at Trentham, where he defeated nl save that beautiful mover. Mr •Stead’s colt is quite ten pounds tin inferior of the champion of the Nev Zealand turf. Sasanoff (Martian Ukraine) was bred privately by tin ■ weh-known Wellington owner, Mr 1 Wilford M.P. T understand Mr Steac. paid somewhere in the vicinity of 30C guineas for him. As a. two-year-o f Sasanoff started eight'times, and one only was out of a place. His bos performance (undoubtedly a giea one) was giving Hyttus and Co. four chains start in the Hawke’s Ba> Stakes last May, and winning fairly easily at the finish. When one remem hors that the time recorded was 1.25 for 0} furlongs, it would be interesting to know what Mr Stead’s colt actually ran. The decision of the Spring Stakes (w.f.a.) at the A.J.C, Meeting brought hr‘ ore the limelight horses bred m these remote parts. Thirteen started including three New Zealand bred horses, the result was Sasanoff (N.Z.) Bee (N.Z.), Carlita (N.Z.) A Sreat advertisement surely for Maonlan . Messrs Lutterell and Stead wore not ion. in getting a return of purchase monev, which they put into Kilboy, ns the A.J.C. Derby prize-money and sweepstake combined would he worth ov.ito £3OOO to the winner. It if stated that'Mr J. B. Reid received 5000 guineas for Kilboy. A deal ua. made that the price was to he af stated above if the colt won tin Derby, and 20f)0 guineas if he faded Kilboy (Kilbroney-Cyre) started or I five occasions last season, catchup hi,. judge’s eye once, this being who he defeated a strong field in the Chnl lengo Stakes. 7 furlongs, at Riccar ton, last April. Carrying 7.3, Kdbroney’s son ran the distance in 1.2< (a great gallop), and defeated amongsl others Eligible, Emperador, Egypt and Good Hope. At the same meeting .ho was somewhat unlucky to suffer defeat in the Champagne Stakes. Good Hope defeating him by a nose I the six furlongs being cast behind ir • 1.14.

j At the dispersal of the Ellerslie stud in 1912, Cyr e (dam of Kilboy) . stinted to Downshire, fell to the hid of J. G. Duncan, of Waikanae at 100 guineas. Another bargain sold on the same afternoon, was the brood mare Couronne, stinted to Downshire with foal at foot by Charlemagne. This lot brought 175 guineas. The filly at foot was subsequently ! named Carlita, who is possibly the best of the Australian-owned horses

at present racing. Race-goers in i'aranaki will remember a ’.uiito: of (i.mcrous hack races under the name of Recipe. This gelding is a half brother by Stepniak to K.lboy. He uas secured by a patron of Oney Cox’s stable for something loss than ,050.
