FRANK BOGASH 



The death of Frank Bogash at Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 in 1918 recalled the trips which he made through 

 the big circuit with Centlivre Bros.' horses in 

 the nineties. He swung on to the mile rings with 

 the handsome black stallion Atlantic King which 

 he drove to a record of 2:09% at Nashville, Tenn., 

 in 1892 in one of the few races that Major Dubois 

 of Denver, Colo., won with W. W. P., the brown 

 gelding Barney by Barney Wilkes being between 

 him and the winner in that event. The same year 

 Bogash also raced a little bay mare called Mary 

 Centlivre and gave her a mark of 2:12 in a nine heat 

 race which Alvin Swift won at the Pittsburgh Grand 

 Circuit meeting. The pacing stallion Frank Bogash, 

 was his best pupil. He was by Atlantic King out of 

 Nellie Gray by Almont Pilot and made a record of 

 2:03% in the race in which he defeated Anaconda, 

 Searchlight and Chehalis at Providence, R. I., in 

 1900. After Centlivre Bros, stopped racing, this 

 horse drifted from one owner to another until he 

 landed on a farm near Sherbrooke, Quebec, where 

 he sired Frank Bogash, Jr., l:59l^. Before that 

 clever pacer appeared, however, his sire was gelded 

 and sold. He passed the last of his days like the sire 

 of Ross B., 2:041/4 pulling a hack.
