"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



by Hiawasse; the Foam and Seabrlght by Parthenia; 

 the Champagne by Breeze; the Selling and Ocean 

 Stakes by Barrett; the Atlantic, Red Bank and August 

 by PIzarro; the Vestal by Amazon; the Optional by 

 Disdain; the Newark by Wyoming; and the Breeders

 of the stable's gems. Like most of Maiden's foals, she 

 was angular, yet full of that high quality which is the 

 heritage of Orlando's descendants. Breeze was an- 

 other daughter of Alarm, from Blairgowrie by Bread-
