J MALLOCH

Mr J Malloch, who owned the pacing mare Blue Mist, a world record holder, died in Christchurch last week.

Mr Malloch, who, until a few years ago, farmed at Morton Mains, bred a number of good winners from the first mare he owned, Bell Drusus.

Blue Mist was by far his best winner. She was one of the top mares of her time in NZ and Australia, winning 19 races and £16,230 and taking a world record for a mile and a half of 3.03¼. She put up her record against time on the Bunbury track in Western Australia.

Blue Heaven, Sporting Edition, Blue Emperor, Medium Blue, Friendly Hall and the promising 3-year-old trotter, Misty Light, were other horses bred or owned by Mr Malloch
