192 THE HORSE 



sire of BIngen was May King/ by Electioneer, and it 

 Is somewhat remarkable that neither May King nor 

 Young Miss ever produced any other foal of the first 

 class. Bingen has one or two brothers, but they have 

 made no reputation. Nevertheless, Bingen is an ex- 

 tremely prepotent horse, and his descendants breed on 

 and on. 



Bingen is the sire of Uhlan, the greatest harness 

 horse ever foaled, and among his sons or grandsons are 

 Bingara, Todd, Bertini, Cochato, Aquilin, Admiral 

 Dev/ey, Border Knight, J. Malcolm Forbes, and the 

 Northern Man. 



The sub-family of Bingara is perhaps the most im- 

 portant of the Bingen tribe. Bingara whose dam was 

 by Arlon, Is an extremely handsome horse as his picture 

 attests, and he transmits beauty, docility, and speed. 

 No family is more uniform in type. Todd died very 

 young, and although his descendants are as remarkable 

 for speed as those of Bingara, perhaps even more so, 

 they are not so similar In type. 



As a rule, however, a Bingen horse of whatever 

 sub-family inherits a handsbme, brainy head — the 

 BIngen head. Bingen was a round-turned horse of 

 great substance combined with quality, and this unusual 

 combination Is found very commonly In his descendants. 



The Bingen family are regarded as "natural" 

 trotters. They require comparatively little education 



1 It is worth noting that May Queen, dam of May King, was by 

 Alexander's Norman, out of Jenny, by Crockett's Arabian. Crockett's 

 Arabian was a son of Mokladi, an Arab horse imported by A. Keene 

 Richards.
