Ont., April .7 —A most important addition to the Canadian bloodstock in- j dustry has just been made by T. B. Jenkin- son of Maikham, Ont., who has just brought . over the six-year-old Pertinax. along with j •other thoroughbred and hunting stock, from England. Pertinax is a son of Phalaris and j this strain is about the most popular in Eng- v land at the present day. Though much j sought after by American breeders, there are j not more than two or three sons and daugh- - a ters of Phalaris in America at the present t time. Carlaris is the best known produce of this t famous English sire at present in America. The 1D26 Coffroth Handicap winner came s over as a yearling in 1923. Ladies Laces, a bay daughter of Phalaris — Dame Prudent, t came over in the same shipment, being then c in her third year, and Phanarite, a bay colt . by Phalaris — Osyrua, is, as far as is known. f the only other offspring of Phalaris that . reached this side of the Atlantic. j Pertinax is truly bred- in the purple. His t sire, Phalaris, led all English sires in 1925 and his 1926 crop of yearlings brought an j average price of over 5,000. Cp to the end . of 1926 the produce of Phalaris had ac- , counted for well over 00,000 in stakes and • purses. Phalaris is by Polymelus and Bro- mus. and the names of these two are familiar to students of bloodstock breeding the j world over. s There were twenty-two head in the ship- . ment that Mr. Jenkinson recently brought over from England, the majority being , hunters which were sent on to various points J in the States. A mare named Corrie Lass, by Coriander, was another in the shipment and j she is also at the Markham farm. Mr. Jenkinson also makes the important , announcement that he will import about ten . two-year-olds, all of the finest English stock, about the middle of May, these being in- | tended for auction during the spring meet- t ing at Woodbine Park, along with the home- , bred stock at the farm. This will be an , opportunity seldom presented to Canadian , horsemen to secure young highly-bred Eng- lish stock. It is assured that every youngster in the shipment will be hand-picked and j the home-bred stock, the most of which is by the imported Arblike. will undoubtedly find a , ready market also. *
