OWNER’S BAD LUCK
LOSES PROMISING FILLY TEMPTING OFFER IN POCKET (Special to THE SUN. > CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday. A high-class filly by Xelson Bingen from Nora (a relative of Cremona Wilkes), was run over by a motor-car and killed at Invercargill. She was the property of Mr. S. Todd, who had a tempting offer for the filly in his pocket when she was killed. The filly escaped from her training quarters. She had some geal? on, and when she reached the bitumen surface of the main road she fell.
On recovering her feet she appeared to be dazed and commenced to career
across the road in wild fashion and fell again. Just at that moment a motorcar came on the scene, and though the brakes were swiftly applied by the driver, the filly finished up underneath the car, and was dragged by the back wheels along the road, the car being almost overturned in the mix-up. The filly was badly injured and mangled, and died within a few minutes of the accident. The daughter of Nelson Bingen was a square trotter of exceptional merit.
