season Spion Kop by Spearmint Hanimerkop by Gallinule was first home for the Derby and Sourabaya dam of the most recent winner of lie Grand Prix is as near as can be sister to him for Sourabaya is by Spearmint Sirenia sister to Spion Kops dam the Cesarewitch winner Hanimerkop HanimerkopRacing Racing as undertaken abroad is quite different from racing as carried on in this country Colts and fillies abroad are not raced to excess in their younger days and if as juveniles they are found capable of racing even respectably are not condemned as niere platers but are expected to and often do im ¬ prove on anything they may have shown in their first season on the turf Such a one is Comrade who though he won all of his three starts as a twoyearold never flew at high game being content to win the Moor Open TwoYearold Plate of 1320 at Linglield Park and the Great Sapling Plate of 2215 at Sandown and one other at that age This year Comrade had up until the last of May only won once ahead in a

race horses whose turf records are of only mediocre merit Sourabaya made two fruitless attempts as a two yearold and won but one of her three starts the following year and this the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown Park Sourabayas dam Sirenia which is of course by Gallhutlc was a superior race filly winning all of her four starts as a twoyearold in Ireland winding up with a victory in the National Produce Stakes of 3323 at The Curragh As a threeyearold on being sent across to Kngland Sirenia took tnc Dnke of York Stakes the one and onequarter miles Great Jubilee Handicap at Kempton Park and ran

yearold Orpheus which this year ran third to Spion Kop for the Derby DerbyGallinue Gallinue sire of Sirenia is of course the leading brood mare sire over there but unlike his sire Isonomy was a chestnut deriving his coloring from Hermit sire of his dam Moorhen I am free to admit I cannot quite understand the color scheme but I do know the chestnut Hermit showed a marked ability in color control and also that Hermit was a wonderful bropd mare sire and that Gallinule takes after him in this particular and this is attributable at least in my opinion to his dam Seclusion and his granddam
