THE KIWI IS HALF-BRED FILLY Winner of Irish Oaks Ineligible for Registration in Thoroughbred Stud Books. The Irish Oaks, which was won recently by T.io Kiwi, is now a valuable race, for it is wortli 0 000 to the winner. The Kiwi and her stable compaai" n Silver Queen were the only two fillies which sho ved real class in the Irish classic. It is, perhaps, not generally known that T" Kiwi is a half-bred filly, by Kosmcs Bey Olive? by Santoi, her dam Lizzie Kendal, by Kendal, f.- ri a maie by Unens, which had for dam Maggie, by Sunset. An interesting coincidence in con inc. in with The Kiwi is that Kosmos, dam of her sire, win for Sir William Colliding, breeder and owner of Tiie Kiwi, the Irish Oaks of 1S90. Sir William lire 1 Kosmos Bey. but sold him, whereas he purchase I Olive. The Kiwis dam, and sent her to Kosmos Bey. Although the blood in Tin; Kiwi has the stigma of half-bred attaching to it, it has considerable merit, but its representatives have mostly distinguished themselves over fences, witli occasionally a smart sprinter and hurdler like Thomoud cropping up amongst them. Bohernore, winner of this years Irish Grand National and many other steeplechases, is not distantly related to The Kiwi, for his dam, Thomonds Pride, is a daughter of Lizzie Kendal, the grand-best steeplechaser in The Kiwis family was Red-path, which won many steeplechases, including the Paris Steeplechase. The late 1. Moloney, at his stud at Knoeklong, County Limerick, and his descendants, at the same place, have used the blood with much success over a period of fifty or sixty years. A half-sister t The Kiwi, which has very fair form in South Africa, is Ballyrusheen, wiiose sire, Ardoon, died last year, which was also bred by Sir William Colliding.
