The success of Bill of if Portland in Australia has been nothing short of pheno- nenal, for Merriwee is one of the resultant crop of only his ;econd stud seasoD, while last year he had to his credit the :rack three-year-old colt Eobadil. This latter colt, a gen- line smasher, is out of a daughter 'df Nordenfeldt, who was .lso a son of Musket.

Simon lot that have thus far started, is probably some ounds behind such a colt as Bobadil, although at that ongy is a thoroughly nice sort of a colt to breed and own e won four out of his first six starts in England, but was impletely knocked out by his trip to Baden Baden in
