TROTTING \ (CONTINUED) Coming On . Admiral Lock is hitting out boldly in his work for A. Julian and promises to do better in his next public efforts. At the recent Thames meeting Admiral Lock ran second to Taipare in the final event of the card, cutting the champion colt, Great Peter, who was a warm favourite, out of second money. The Admiral Wood gelding appears to thrive on plenty of solid work. An Unsuccessful Tour Although a large number of Auckland district pacers and trotters made the trip to Wanganui and Hawera they failed to get their names inserted on the winning roll and the big majority have returned from an unsuccessful tour. Among those who failed to materialise were, Araroa, Roez, Lady Ena, Respect, Heather Girl, Direct Morning, Lord Nepean, Goldman, Fungus, Peterson, Tiger Salve, Rockaway, Aggie Bell, Bingen King, Admiral Hood, Profiteer, Horizon, Gaza, Black Ballin, and Gold Circle. Taking Things Easy H. Kinnimont, the Royal Oak trainer, is keeping a fair string in work, and during the week had half a dozen candidates at Epsom, but they were restricted to work on the joggers’ area. The Thames Cup winner Gold Jacket, looks none the | worse for his exertions, and when he is sent to the races again, will give further proof of his prowess. Other members of the Royal Oak team in Grattan Thorpe, Colonel Thorpe, Golden Park, and Roma Bingen, bear a well seasoned appearance. No Wonder He Stopped R. E. Mills, driver of Kotuku Jack in the Wilkin Handicap at Addington last Saturday explained that the cause of the horse stopping suddenly after going half a mile was due to something like cramp coming over one of the gelding’s hind legs. For a moment the gelding could not control the limb, and in consequence he went to a break and then pulled up. A Unique Experience A unique experience occurred in the light-harness events at the Beaumont Jockey Club’s meeting on Monday, where two trotting events formed part of the programme. A dead-heat was declared for first place in both contest. Hector’s Own was one of the dead-heaters in both events. Van Rich for Auckland Messrs. R- P. Morrissey and Co., on behalf of Mr. R. Vautier, of Palmerston North, who is retiring from racing, held a sale of the sportsman’s trotters at Hawera, when five horses were offered, viz., Van Rich (Van Coronado —Lady Richmond), Some Jazz (Don Pronto—Cashier Queen), Blue Glen (Logan Pointer —Sylvia), Bon Tapui (Bon Patch —Bon Hernie mare), and Marion Junior (Wildwood Junior — Chief Spec). With the exception of Van Rich, which was sold privately after the sale to an Auckland sportsman for £450, all were passed in. There was a large and representative attendance of about 200 owners and sportsmen at the sale.

GREAT PACING FAMILY WORTHY SONS OF WORTHY PARENTS SETTING A HIGH STANDARD (By Aboydos.) When Mr. J. W. Tims, a genuine sportsman and well and favourably known in this district in connection with light harness operations, acquired the youngster by Nelson Bingen from Bertha Bell, he was probably acquainted with the fact that his purchase was bred on sound racing lines, as was being demonstrated about that period by Great Bingen, who was beginning to make the trotting people sit up and take notice, and in a lesser degree, perhaps by his younger brother Peter Bingen. By the time Mr. Tim’s colt was ready to commence his education at the hands of the successful Mangere mentor, J. T. Paul, his two brothers were making history on the track, and the connections of Great Peter, as the colt was registered, must have felt that they had in the stable a young member of a splendid family. Subsequent events have proved that the owner and trainer of Great Peter have secured a worthy representative of a worthy line of pa.cers. GREAT BINGEN’S GREAT RECORD Great Bingen, the first of the trio to bring fame upon his parentage, is now seven years old and has some remarkable performances to his credit, including a mile in 2.7 3-5, ten furlongs 2.40 3-5, 12 furlongs 3.16, and two miles 4.19 2-5. The latter performance, which smacked all previous New Zealand two mile records considerably to leg, was put up at the Auckland summer meeting, and is all the more outstanding when it is considered Mr. McKenzie's great horse accomplished this superb feat on a grass track. The elder brother to the Auckland-trained champion, does not figure as a winner of any of the classics, but as he advanced in years Great Bingen cleaned up the opposition in free-for-all heats and incidentally won numerous big handicaps throughout the Dominion. His latest notable achievement was in winning the York Handicap at the Royal meeting in Christchurch last month, when Wither’s flying machine defeated a classy field from 108yds behind, traversing the journey in 4.21. PETER BINGEN MAKING GOOD While the mighty son of Nelson Bingen and Bertha Bell was performing such doughty deeds -on the racing track among the pride of the land, his brother, a year younger, known on the correct card as Peter Bingen was steadily fighting his way up the ladder, and in many of his later performances he has shown a tendency to reach the highest rung. Like his elder relative Peter Bingen did not have his name inscribed on the classics merit board, but as a four-year-old he collected several useful handicaps, and during the following season he moved in tophole society and did not besmirch the good name of the Bingens. That he is . a true descendant of Nelson Bingen— \ Bertha Bell, Peter has given ample • proof by accomplishing such tasks as a mile in 2.14 3-5, 12 furlongs 3.26, two miles 4.28, thus qualifying for the next 1 New Zealand Cup, while last Saturday : at Addington he won further laurels by annexing a ten-furlong heat in 2.42 2-5, equal to a mile gait of 2.10. Peter Bingen, the second son, gives promise of reaching the high standard set by Great Bingen, the elder brother. 1 the g.n. derby and champion 1 WINNER It may be said, without in any way ! reflecting on the earlier career of Great Bingen and Peter Bingen, that 1 the third member of the family, Great 1 Peter, has commenced his activities ! more auspiciously than his elder 1 brothers. Without being unduly hus- 1 tied the colt showed a good deal of ‘ promise and trainer Paul decided to 1 give him a run in public at the Auck- 1 land Spring meeting, and the son of 1 Nelson Bingen was among the unplaced 1 in the Newmarket Handicap won by 1 that speedy mare Luvan. The experience gained however had beneficial re- > suits, and a month later at Otahuhu ; the colt led a big field home in the 1 Mangere Handicap, running the ten furlongs in 2.68 1-5, or a 2.23 gait. Mr. Tims’ representative was next stepped out in the Great Northern ; Derby, which he landed comfortably ! in 3.30 for the mile and a-half, equal to 2.20 for the mile. Young Peter was then taken to Thames, where, despite a severe cold, he was made a ' good favourite, and finished third to Taipare and Admiral Lock, cutting out the ten furlongs in 2.56 1-5, equal to a 2.21 clip. Paul, well satisfied with the colt’s capabilities, made the journey to Christchurch in quest of the Champion Stakes, which he succeeded in obtaining without much difficulty, tramping the mile and five furlongs in 3.51 1-5, or a 2.22 gait. The three-year-old has practically done all that his mentor has asked him, and his classic record stamps him, without doubt, the crack three-year-old of the year. As a worthy representative of a worthy family, Great Peter has early made good, and his future career will be watched with interest by lovers of the light harness sport. All going well Great Peter should, with a bit of age reach the high standard set by his brother.
