Never the battle raged hottest, but in it 

 Neither the last nor the faintest was he.

FRANK BOGASH, JR. 



Champion Pacing Gelding 

 Record 1:591/4 



RANK BOGASH, Jr., 1:5914, holds the world's rec- 

 ord for a pacing gelding and has the further distinc- 

 tion of being the fastest pacer yet bred in Canada and 

 one of the only two that the country has yet produced. It 

 might be added that he is one of three two-minute pacers that 

 carried the hobbles as part of his racing equipment and he is 

 also the fastest of that trio, the others being Prince Alert 

 1 :59l/2 and Louie Gratton 2:00, the latter also Canadian bred 

 and the fastest mare that Dominion has produced. 



The best record of this brown gelding is, to an extent, 

 an index to his ability. But that is all for he was a real 

 warrior on the race track and his prowess is proved by his 

 winnings in 1913, when he had to his credit the always 

 goodly sum of $23,325. One writer on turf topics gives 

 this as his opinion of the Canadian gelding: ''When one 

 considers the number of his starts and the amount of money 

 he won in his 1913 campaign and then weighs the quality 

 of the opposition he encountered, the conviction is necessarily 

 arrived at that no more meritorious campaign was ever 

 accomplished." 



Tommy Murphy, who campaigned this good gelding on 

 the Grand Circuit in 1913 and 1914, said of him recently: 

 ''I would like nothing better than to have Frank Bogash, Jr., 

 back again with the same record he had when I got him. 

 He would not only be a factor in his races but there would 

 have to be a whole lot better material in sight than there is
