DEATH OF A BROOD MARE
The famous old brood mare Yatterina has gone the way of all horse flesh, having died at her owner’s place at Papakura. It appears she was turned out in a paddock one night, and the next morning was found dead in a surrounding ditch. She was not in foal this season. Yatterina was a most prolific matron, and her progeny could all race. She threw Matchlock (who won the V.R.C. Champion Stakes), Kingfisher (winner of the Hawkesbury Guineas), that good old turf slave Libeller, Fusilier (who won several races for Mr P. Butler), and Rosarina and Pinfire. Old turfites will remember Yatberina’s many deeds on the racecourses, on the Southern goldfields and on tho West Coast, and although she never won any of the “classic” races in the colony, still she did the late Mr W. Walters good service, and won for him his first big handicap, viz., the Dunedin Jockey Club Handicap of 1871. Yatterina was bred in New South Wales, and was got by Yatbendon, her dam Kohinoor, being got by Vanguard from Kate. In addition to the death, of Yatterina, I hear both Fanny Fisher and Slander are empty this season, so the Papakura stud are having a bad time.
