Awamoa is therefore a horse of crea lineage; m fact, he i 8 one of the best Wed horses m the world. On one side ha ia sprung from tie Prince of Wale« and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge m them matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful atud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa ha, been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten m the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only The filly Nompaml II has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizetakers that have sprung from Awamo*. His yearling «ste are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should take atrip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a Kreat breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he took fir at Oamaru, first at Christchurclu first at Timaru, and first at Dunediu; aa a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; a* a three year old, firstat Oamara arid champion horae of the yard; folWin* year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when seven years old wa» champjon at Oamaru Itwifi thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the ring; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a anre foal getter; hence his value m the district where he goes to travel.
