Mated With Coronach.

Bronwen. one of the best spnnlcrs seen in the North lsland in hcr time, has been sent to Wanganui to be matcd with the fanious sirc Coronach. Fifteen Classic Wlns. Watling Slrcct's success in this year's Derby brought Lord Derby's total of classie wlns to 15 — three in the Derby. one each in the Oaks and Two Thousand Guineas, and five each in the One Thousand Guineas and the St. Leger. Mishaps Have Trnubled Him. Prince Shad, who has been trained by his owncr for some tiiue. won Ihe nine furlong hack race at Riccarton in good slyle. He was brought to the North lsland to race a couple of monlhs ago but failed. But for minor troubles his reeord would be nuicli hetter, because he is a yery bold galioper. Prince Shad's dam. Wanaka, is one of Ihe Silver Peak family, but hcr name is not in the Slud Book. Will Improve. Pakuranga form will now have thrown some light on Ihe prosprcts for coming meetings and one notiecd among the beaten division which can hc expcctcd to improve. a great deal on his flfth in Ihe Sylvia Park. Handicap :s the Hunting Song gelding Peter Gregor. This three-year-old lscked condition, as he did not have an rxhaustive ireparntion, and he wilted only inside the nst furlong after running a good race behind the leaders throughout the journey. Caught Bettors Unawsres. Few anticipated such a forward showing from Lord Chancellor at Ellerslie, even though most track watclicrs agreed that he had the makings of a good horse. He accomplisheil something out of the ordinary to sprradeagle such n good field of hacks and there can only be onc eonclusion to arrive at. and that is that the Mr, Slandfast gelding is really class and rnill add further strength to F. Smith's formidable team of three-ycar-olds for the spring classies. Bred at Stonyhurst. Willow Wood, Ihe sensational dlvldendpayer at Riccarton, was bred at Stonyhurst and was raced as n two-year-old from the Chokcbore slable, for which hc won one race and had a second and third p'aclng. He was later sold to his present ownev, for whom he won only onc race, at Greymouth, until his latest success. Winsome Mind, dam of Willow Wood, is by The Acts from Wild HincL dam of Wild Ghase and Wild Fox. Willow Wood workcd mostlv w ith Sally Lunn prior to Riccarton, but there was never anything in his track or race efforts to suggest winnlng possibilities. Rncing Fixturcs.
