The A u&tralasian, in speaking of the Sir Hercules blood, remarked : — "No family has gained bucli a reputation as that which descends from the colonial-bred Sir Hercules. In contests of every description the repre- sentatives of this line have achieved more than their share of popular triumphs, from the time Mr Tait carried all before him with old Cossack (brother to Waimea), down to the present season, when Kingsborough, Dag- worth, Melbourne, Reprieve, S erling, Mtz- Yattendon, Valentia, Calumny, Eingwood, and many others with a dash of the old blood, carried the owners' colors to the fore in some of the hardest tussels of the year."
