•Derby 1810. {St. Leger 1824. §Bt. Leger. lOaks. By glancing through the pedigree it will be seen that DANIEL O’RORKE is equally as well bred on his •lam’s side as on his sire’s. It will be seen that Sledmere, Dan’s sire, is a grandson of Irish Bird-Catcher, the grandsire of Stockwell, which is alone sufficient to prove the excellent blood that courses through his veins. Tadmore. the sire of Brunette, Dan’s dam, is also Sire of Seclusion, dam of Hermit, the most celebrated sire in England. Brunette’s granddam, Birthday, is also granddam of the celebrated horses, Stockham and Panic, the corner stones of the Australian Stud Book, they being the sires of the most celebrated horses bred in Australia, including Commotion, Wellington, and Pell Mell and several others. Brunette, Dan’s dam, was imported by Messrs Harris and Innis, along with Mermaid and Traducer, which has been proved to be the best blood ever imported to the colony. Brunette has been admitted by competent judges to be one of the best brood mares ever imported south of the Line. Dan has proved himielf a most brilliant racehorse, which his performances will show. He has al-o proved himself to be one of the mo«t successful sires in the country, and is mentioned in the N.Z. Referee as having been greatly neglected by breeders. Out of the 133 winning sires of New Zealand O’Rorke Stands tenth, and has had few chances of distinguishing himself. He is the sire of Sir George, winner of the Wanganui Cup value 000 guineas, in the fastest time it has been accomplished, n so of Recluse, winner of £112«, who is admitted by Sporting soribes to be the fastest horte In the colonies, and the sueady Colt Wanganui.
