r r 1 - 1 3 LOSES GOOD BROOD MARE E Lord Woolavingtons Fifinella Dies s From an Internal Hemorrhage After Foaling Chestnut Filly. Special Correspondence. LONDON, England. May 25— Lord Wool- avington, who breeds and races on an ex- tensive scale in England, had the misfortune e to lose, recently, his high-class mare, Fifi- nella, which died of internal hemorrhage e after foaling a chestnut filly by Hurry On last month. , Bred by the late Sir Edward Hulton and foaled in March, 1913, Fifinella was a chestnut daughter of Polymelus, out of Silver r Fowl, by Wildflower, from LArgent, by Jacobite. She won two of her three races s as a two-year-old, and the following season again raced three times. After being narrowly beaten by Canyon in the One Thousand Guineas she landed the double event, the war-time Derby and Oaks, run at Newmarket, for her owner-breeder, who had previously suffered disappointment in the classic races with Lomond and Shogun. Fifi-nellas only other effort on the race track was as a four-year-old, when she ran last t of three to Phalaris in the Bury St. Edmunds . Plate at Newmarket. After the death of Sir Edward Hulton in 1 1925, Fifinella came up with the remainder of the stud ordered by his executors for sale during the Newmarket second July f meeting. She was sold to Lord Woolaving-ton - for 0,000. She then had a chestnut t foal at foot by The Tetrarch or Tetratema, . and carried a pledge to Gay Crusader. Although Fifinella proved a regular producer, - she dropped nothing of much account with the exception of Press Gang son of Hurry On, a top notch horse on his best t form, and one that is likely to do well as a t stallion. Fifinelias best daughter was Fi-fine, already the dam of Fidelio, Fiesole I and Lemin, and is now a member of Lord Derbys stud. Fifinelias dam, the Irish-bred mare Silver - Fowl, bred by the late Irish trainer, , Denis Shanahan, was a smart winner, and 1 proved a veritable gold mine for the late Sir • Edward Hulton, who bought her for ,750 ! at the dispersal sale of Denis Shanahans stud. Silver Fowl, besides Fifinella, foaled J the good mare Soubriquet, second in the 1922 One Thousand Guineas and Oaks, and winner of many high-class races. She also produced the good winner and successful J sire Silvern, Silver Tag, winner of the Cambridgeshire and runner-up for the One Thousand Guineas to Vaucluse, and the successful sire Sirrah, half brother to Selvem. It was the produce of Silver Fowl that was chiefly responsible for Sir Edward Hultons success on the British turf.
