Bingen (horse)

A descendant of Hambletonian 10, he is considered one of the most important sires in the development of the modern Standardbred breed.

[1] Bingen created a bloodline in the making of the American Standardbred through the Hambletonian 10 offspring Electioneer.

George W. Leavitt of Boston and E H Greeley of Ellsworth, Maine, bought him the same year.

The aging horse got his final owner in David Look, Castleton, Kentucky and was placed in service at the stud from 1912 until his death 1913.

Among them was Gay Bingen and sires of his descendants were imported to Sweden from what at the time was the Soviet Union (SU).
