EPSOM TROTTING

WELL-BRED WINNERS LINES OF PIRATE'S LAST, BINGEN AND WILDWOOD BLOOD BY ABAYDOS Although the results of the racing at the Auckland Trotting Club's winter meeting. at Epsom were a splendid triumph for Bingen sires, who were represented by six winners, the remainder of the events were well divided among others, Rey de Oro (two), Jack Potts, Wrack, Roy Redmond, Gold Bell, Jewel Pointer and Our Thorpe all being successfully represented also. Horses of the Bingen lino were also nine times placed. The dual success of Pirate's Last, a ,win by Sylvan and plaeings by Pirate's Last, Nelson Chief (twice) and Frontier Boy, gave Nelson Bingen a monopoly of the sires represented in the four races for straight-out trotters. Wild Pirate> dam of Pirate's Last, was by Pirate, by Honesty from the Wildwood mare Wild Tracey. Although not a success when raced, Wild Pirate has proved a prolific and successful brood mare. , The progeny of Wild Pirate includes the following good winners:—Oruarangi, by Golcaida; Queen Pirate, by Normintson; Waitaka, by Gold Bell; Peter Pirate, by Peter, Moko; and Nelson Pirate, a full-brother to Pirate's Last. As his name implies, the Epsom' duel winner is the last of her progeny. An unraced full-sister to Peter Pirate, Wild Moko, is the dam of the useful Kete Kura, by Truman Direct. Breeding of Sylvan

Glade, dam of Sylvan, is by Logan. Pointer from Merce, who is producing well. Merce coines of an ' excellent 1 family, being by the -MnKiriney horse Galindo from Authoress', dam o£ the' brilliant 'Author Dillon. Authoress Was' by Wildwood from Thelraa', by : Kentucky from Pride of Lincoln, by Touchstone.

Agnes Chief, dam of Nelson Chief, was one of a family of five greys, the progeny of Wild Agnes, who was by Wildwood from Lady Agnes, by Touchstone from an Arab mare. Agnes Chief was by Woodburn Chief, a Rothschild horse, whose dam Sir Woodburn was by Jay Gould, by , Berlin from Puella, also by Berlin. Mated with Peter Moko, Agnes Chief produced Akenehi, a grey mare who won several trotting races.

Harvest Home, an Australian-bred mare, who produced Great Chum to Nelson Bingen, has been represented bv other winners. Her first -was Gui'd Hairst, by The Triumph, and after Great Chum came two good ones by Jewel Pointer, Great Jewel and Musketeer. Great Jewel is an inmate of R. B. Berry's stable, and the Canterbury trainer has a high opinion of him. Daughter of Great Bingen

Crocus, who won the C. F. Mark Memorial Handicap, from end to end, represents Great Bingen, one of Nelson Bingen's best racing sons. Crocus is a fine pacer and it is a pity that she is inclined-to be unreliable at the-bar-rier,. ~ '

_ Parauri, who .created ; a..good impression when' he won the Hobson Hahdi- ; cap, is by Nelson Derby, another wellperform ed : son of 'Nelson Great' Bingen's dam, > Bertha Belle, and-' dam of -Nelson,- Derby,, were: American importations who left manynotable offspring. . - The consistent form'"of Ta^l<sfa' vduring the past three months 'has ' at-' tracted attention: to his, dam, Luvan, an Australian mare,- by Luljj; Boy from a Van Roy mare. Her -earlier product, Nelson Luvan, was useful only as a sprinter, but Vanora, a son of Bey de Oro, gives-every indication of developing into a good stayer. He is a very smart beginner, and it is in his favour that ho , races generously and can handle any going. Australian blood was in evidence when the four-year-old Dick Redmond scored his first success in the Royal Handicap. By Roy Redmond from Dixie Lass, he possesses the best trotting strains. Roy Redmond has produced a number of promising young trotters in Australia.

Gold Circle, - who created a surprise after an absence of nine years from racing, placed Gold Bell once more on the winning list. His dam, Lady Natalie, produced other winners, Heather Girl and Carl Mack. Good Form Maintained

Forest Jewel, who scored her first win at the April meeting, maintained her good form by registering a first and a second, giving Jewel Pointer his only success at the meeting. June Nordica, dam of Forest Jewel, is by Harold Dillon, and she was > a -very smart performer. June Nordica "won races for S. M. August, who has driven Forest Jewel in her last three starts. : 1 '>v ;

Our Peggy, who : showed more improvement in her win than any horse at the meeting, is by Our Thorpe from Flora Elmo, whose earlier production, Joy Bird, was a useful performer. Our Peggy is not showing the consistency of last season, but has won twice in holding ground and at remunerative prices.

Ironside, winner of the Adams Memorial Handicap, represented Wrack, and gave the sire his first success in the race. On the maternal sido Ironside traces to the thoroughbred. Ratepayer, who was twice placed, is by Great Bingen—Nyallo, and a fullbrother to Taxpayer and Refund. He is improving with age and next season may do still better. King Country, who gained a minor place, is by Peter Bingen from Winestra, by Ravenschild.
