(By "The Toff.") Due to the display on the part of New Zealand's greatest pacer, Great Bingen, the Free-for-AII was a very disappointing contest. pREAT BINGEN took fright at the vJ start and galloped a furlong and ahalf before he could be induced to strike his gait. I By that time the field was well on its journey and he had no chance of making up his ground. The winner, Native Chief cancanned at the start, lost several lengths and then had the race won at the head of the stretch. • It wasn't a race at the finish, Native Chief winning easily m the slow time of 2.11 I'-5. ""He really went m 2.8. That is from the time he left the starting peg. Bell Harold and Logariwood' loafed over the first half-mile which took 1.8 to cover, hence it is easy to underutand why Native Chief gathered them co easily. In the straight, Peter Bingen put . m his'claim for second money and got it without doing any damage from a record point of view. Great Hope went away badly. Had Bonny Logan been able to have got clear m the straight she would have-made the finish more interesting.
