Querida, the winner of the opening event at Auckland on Saturday, is bred the way of a good-trotter, for while her sire, Nelson Bingen, is the most successful sire of trotters in recent years, the dam, Betty Moko, was also a high-grade performer and won many good races in the Auckland district. She was by Peter Moko (a son of Peter the Great) from; Papatina. Although Querida has not yet performed in keeping with her breeding, she is •not an old mare, and in the care of F, J. Smith she will probably improve.
